This calculator finds the volume of a cuboid (or box) when the side lengths are known.
Below is the formula for the volume of a box.
The formula for the volume of a box (or cuboid) is: \[ V = lwh \; \]
where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cuboid
Find the volume of the box below.
The box has the following dimensions:
The volume of the box is:
\[ V = lwh \; \]
where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the box
So if we substitute the values of the length and width into this equation, we get: \[ V = 7 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 = 105 \]
The volume of the box is 105 cm3.
Find the volume of the box below.
The box has the following dimensions:
The volume of the box is:
\[ V = lwh \; \]
So if we substitute the values of the length and width into this equation, we get: \[ V = 12 \cdot 5 \cdot 3 = 180 \]
The volume of the box is 180 in3.
Find the volume of the box below.
The box has the following dimensions:
The volume of the box is:
\[ V = lwh \; \]
So if we substitute the values of the length and width into this equation, we get: \[ V = 5.6 \cdot 4.3 \cdot 2.5 = 60.2 \]
The volume of the box is 60.2 cm3.
Find the volume of the box below.
The box has the following dimensions:
The volume of the box is:
\[ V = lwh \; \]
So if we substitute the values of the length and width into this equation, we get: \[ V = 8 \cdot {3 \over 4} \cdot 5 {1 \over 2} = 33 \]
The surface area of the box is 33 in3.
