Cubic meter
Definition: A cubic meter (symbol: m³) is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the volume of a cube with sides one meter in length.
History/origin: The cubic meter is derived from the meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is a fundamental unit for measuring three-dimensional space.
Current use: Cubic meters are used extensively in construction, engineering, and environmental science for measuring volumes of materials like concrete, soil, and air. They are also used in calculating the capacity of large spaces.
Cubic yard
Definition: A cubic yard (symbol: yd3) is a unit of volume in the Imperial and United States customary systems. It is the volume of a cube with sides one yard (0.9144 meters) in length.
History/origin: The cubic yard is derived from the yard, a unit of length that has historical roots in both England and other European countries. It was traditionally used for measuring cloth and land. The cubic yard evolved as a measure of volume based on this linear unit.
Current use: Cubic yards are primarily used in construction, landscaping, and excavation to measure large volumes of materials such as concrete, gravel, soil, and sand. It's commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that utilize the Imperial or US customary systems.
