1. What is Volume of a Cube?

The volume of a cube is the amount of space enclosed within its boundaries. Since all sides of a cube are equal, the volume is simply the side length raised to the power of three.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the cube volume formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume in cubic units
• \( side \) — Length of one side of the cube

Explanation: The formula works because a cube has equal length, width and height, so volume is simply length × width × height = side × side × side = side³.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Calculating cube volume is essential in geometry, engineering, architecture, and various scientific applications where space measurement is required.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the side length of the cube in any consistent units. The result will be in cubic units of whatever unit you entered (e.g., cm³ if you entered cm).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my cube has different side lengths?
A: Then it's not a cube but a rectangular prism, which uses the formula V = length × width × height.

Q2: Can I use decimal or fractional side lengths?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts any positive numerical value for side length.

Q3: What are common units for cube volume?
A: Common units include cubic meters (m³), cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic inches (in³), and cubic feet (ft³).

Q4: How does this relate to surface area?
A: While volume measures space inside, surface area (6 × side²) measures the total area of all faces.

Q5: Can this formula be used for other 3D shapes?
A: No, this specific formula only applies to cubes. Other shapes have different volume formulas.
