I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

    Use cubes for water. Short for cubic meter. That is 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter which is also exactly 1000 liters.

    This is one of the convenient metric parameters where they made an easy conversion allowing you to precisely use distance to calculate volume.
