Cubic Centimeter
Definition: A cubic centimeter (symbol: cm³) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is the volume of a cube with sides that are 1 centimeter in length. One cubic centimeter is equal to one milliliter (ml).
History/origin: The cubic centimeter is derived from the centimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The metric system originated in France in the late 18th century.
Current use: Cubic centimeters are widely used for measuring volumes of liquids and solids in chemistry, biology, and engineering. They are also commonly used in cooking and everyday measurements.
Decilitre
Definition: A decilitre (symbol: dL) is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a litre. It is a decimal submultiple of the litre, the standard unit of volume in the metric system.
History/origin: The decilitre originates from the metric system, which was established in France in the late 18th century. The prefix 'deci-' indicates one tenth, signifying its fraction relative to the litre.
Current use: Decilitres are frequently employed in European countries in cooking recipes. Also, they're sometimes used in medical contexts for measuring fluids, especially blood, and in scientific experiments when volume is a critical parameter.
