This question checks which units are correct for measuring volume.

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which units are correct for volume?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Volume units are always cubic. Multiply units in all three dimensions.

Volume measures the space inside 3D objects, so units must be cubic, e.g., cm^3, m^3. Using cm^2 or cm measures area or length, not volume. For example, a cube 3 cm per side has volume 3×3×3 = 27 cm^3. Understanding units ensures accuracy in calculations and real-life applications such as packaging, liquid containers, and construction. Practice converting between units: 1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3.
