Multiple Choice
Which SI unit is used to measure volume?
A
gram (g)
B
liter (L)
C
cubic meter (m^3)
D
milliliter (mL)
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that volume is a measure of the amount of space an object or substance occupies.
Recall that the SI (International System of Units) unit for volume is derived from the SI base unit for length, which is the meter (m).
Since volume is a three-dimensional measurement, the SI unit for volume is expressed as cubic meters, written as \(m^{3}\).
Recognize that other units like liter (L) and milliliter (mL) are commonly used for volume but are not SI base units; they are derived units where 1 L = 0.001 \(m^{3}\).
Conclude that among the options given, the correct SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (\(m^{3}\)).
