Cube Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The volume of a cube is the amount of space enclosed within its boundaries. For a cube with equal sides, the volume is calculated by cubing the length of one side.
The calculator uses the cube volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: Since all sides of a cube are equal, the volume is simply the side length multiplied by itself three times.
Details: Calculating cube volume is essential in geometry, architecture, engineering, and various scientific applications where space measurement is required.
Tips: Enter the side length in meters. The value must be positive. The result will be in cubic meters (m³).
Q1: What if my cube has different side lengths?
A: Then it's not a perfect cube. For rectangular prisms, use length × width × height.
Q2: What are common units for cube volume?
A: Cubic meters (m³) are standard, but cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic inches (in³) are also used.
Q3: How precise should my measurement be?
A: Precision depends on your application. For most purposes, 2-4 decimal places are sufficient.
Q4: Can I calculate side length from volume?
A: Yes, by taking the cube root of the volume (V^(1/3)).
Q5: How does this relate to surface area?
A: Surface area is 6 × side², which grows slower than volume (side³).
