Litre
Definition: A litre (symbol: L or l) is a metric unit of volume. It is defined as the volume of one cubic decimetre (dm³), which is 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm.
History/origin: The litre was introduced in France in 1795 as one of the new 'republican units of measure' and defined as one cubic decimetre. It has undergone slight revisions in its definition over time.
Current use: The litre is a widely used unit for measuring liquid volume, found in various everyday applications, from beverages and fuels to household products. It is also used extensively in scientific and industrial contexts.
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.
