Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for the volume of a box?

V = length × width × height. A box measuring 10 by 4 by 3 holds 120 cubic units.

Do the three dimensions need the same unit?

Yes — convert everything to one unit before entering the values, because the result is that unit cubed (lengths in cm give volume in cm³).

Is a cube just a special box?

Exactly. When length, width, and height are all equal the box is a cube, and the shortcut V = side³ applies (3 × 3 × 3 = 27).

How do you calculate the volume of a box?

Measure length, width, and height, then multiply all three: V = l × w × h. A box 10 in long, 4 in wide, and 3 in tall contains 10 × 4 × 3 = 120 cubic inches. Enter the three sides above to have the calculator do the multiplication.

How do I convert the result to liters?

First get cubic units from the calculator, then convert: 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter and 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters. A box measuring 50 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm holds 60,000 cm³, which is exactly 60 liters.
