Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the SI unit for volume and the SI unit for length?
A
The SI unit for volume, cubic meter (m^3), is equal to the cube of the SI unit for length, meter (m).
B
The SI unit for volume, liter (L), is equal to the square of the SI unit for length, meter (m^2).
C
The SI unit for volume, liter (L), is equal to the SI unit for length, meter (m).
D
The SI unit for volume, cubic meter (m^3), is equal to the product of the SI unit for length and the SI unit for mass.

Recall that the SI unit for length is the meter, symbolized as \(m\).
Understand that volume is a measure of three-dimensional space, so its SI unit is derived by cubing the unit of length.
Express the SI unit for volume as the cube of the meter: \(m^3\).
Recognize that a liter (L) is a non-SI unit of volume commonly used, but it is not the SI unit; it is related to cubic meters by a conversion factor.
Conclude that the correct relationship is that the SI unit for volume, the cubic meter (\(m^3\)), equals the cube of the SI unit for length, the meter (\(m\)).
