Units of Measurement of Area and Volume

Units of Measurement of Area and Volume

The inter-relationships between various units of measurement of length, area and volume are listed below for ready reference:
Length
1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 milimetre (mm)
1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 centimetre
1 Metre (m) = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000 mm
1 Decametre (dam) = 10 m = 1000 cm
1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 dam = 100 m
1 Kilometre (km) = 1000 m = 100 dam = 10 hm
1 Myriametre = 10 kilometre
Area
1 cm2 = 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm = 100 mm2
1 dm2 = 1 dm × 1 dm = 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 cm2
1 m2 = 1 m × 1 m = 10 dm × 10 dm = 100 dm2
1 dam2 or 1 are = 1 dam × 1dam = 10 m × 10 m = 100 m2
1 hm2 = 1 hectare = 1 hm × 1 hm = 100 m × 10000m2 = 100 dm2
1 km2 = 1 km × 1 km = 10 hm × 10 hm = 100 hm2 or 100 hectare
Volume
1 cm3 = 1 ml = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm = 1000 mm3
1 litre = 1000 ml = 1000 cm3
1 m3 = 1 m×1 m×1m = 100 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm = 106 cm3
= 1000 litre = 1 kilometre
1 dm3 = 1000 cm3, 1m3 = 1000 dm3, 1 km3 = 109 m3
