Study Guide: Metric Measurements
Metric Linear
\begin{align} 10\ mm &= 1\ cm \\ 100\ cm &= 1\ m \\ 1000\ m &= 1\ km \\ \end{align}
Metric Area
\begin{align} 100\ mm^2 &= 1\ cm^2 \\ 10,000\ cm^2 &= 1\ m^2 \\ &= 1,000,000\ m^2 \\ \end{align}
Metric Volume
\begin{align} 10\ milliliters\ (ml) &=1\ centiliter\ (cl) \\ 10\ centiliters &=1\ deciliter\ (dl) \\ &= 100\ milliliters \\ 10\ deciliters &=1\ liter\ (l) \\ &= 1,000\ milliliters \\ 10\ liters &=1\ dekaliter\ (dal) \\ 10\ dekaliters &=1\ hectoliter\ (hl) \\ &= 100\ liters \\ 10\ hectoliters &=1\ kiloliter\ (kl) \\ &=1,000\ liters \end{align}
Metric Cubic
\begin{align} 1,000\ cubic\ millimeters\ (mm^3) &=1\ cu\ centimeter\ (cm^3) \\ 1,000\ cubic\ centimeters &=1\ cu\ decimeter\ (dm^3) \\ &=1,000,000\ cu\ millimeters \\ 1,000\ cubic\ decimeters &=1\ cu\ meter\ (m^3) \\ &= 1\ stere \\ &= 1,000,000\ cu\ centimeters \\ &= 1,000,000,000\ cu\ millimeters \end{align}
