The volume can be measured in cubic meters, cubic centimeters, or liters. The units of the three-dimensional volume depend on the units of length-if the lengths are in meters, the volume will be in cubic meters, etc. To measure a square or cube: Volume = length times width times height.
The metric measure units of volume are based on the liter. 1  The milliliter (ml) is the smallest metric measure of volume and equals 1/1000 of a liter. 2  The centiliter (cl) is the next largest unit of volume and equals 1/100 of a liter. 3  The deciliter (dl) is the next largest unit of volume and equals 1/10 of a liter.
