Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
