Information about Cubic Mile

A cubic mile is an Imperial / U.S. customary (non-SI non-metric) unit of volume, used in the United States. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 mile (5280 feet, 1760 yards, ≈1.609 kilometre) in length.

Symbols

There is no universally agreed symbol but the following are used:
  • cubic mile
  • cu mile
  • cu mi
  • cu m (this can be confused with cubic metre, however, mi is standard and m is rarely used)
  • mile/-3
  • mi/-3
  • m/-3 (this can be confused with cubic metre, however, mi is standard and m is rarely used)
  • mile^3
  • mi^3
  • m^3 (this can be confused with cubic metre, however, mi is standard and m is rarely used)
  • mile³
  • mi³
  • m³ (this can be confused with cubic metre, however, mi is standard and m is rarely used ["m is rarely used": blatant nonsense for m with and without exponent 3]
