Answer:

Key Takeaways: Volume Definition

Volume is the three-dimensional space occupied by a substance or enclosed by a surface. The International System of Units (SI) standard unit of volume is the cubic meter (m3). The metric system uses the liter (L) as a volume unit. One liter is the same volume as a 10-centimeter cube.
