Why do we Use Litre to measure liquid?
For example, let us consider two containers A and B of different shapes and sizes. Now, let us fill the two containers with milk. Can we tell which container has more milk by looking at both of them? No, right? We cannot predict whether container A or container B has more milk in it just by glancing at them.
We need to measure the milk in both containers and express them in the same unit, and the standard unit used to measure fluids is the litre. So, liquids like water, milk, petrol, kerosene, vegetable oils, etc. are measured in terms of litres, centilitres, millilitres, kiloliters, megaliters, etc.
Litre in Maths
Litre is one of the units of measurement of volume, where volume is a mathematical quantity that is used for measuring the amount of three-dimensional space that is occupied. We know that solids are generally measured in grams, kilograms, pounds, etc., whereas fluids are measured using volume.
In this article, we will learn about the definition of a litre and its relationship with other metric and non-metric units.
