The previous online calculator is a tool to calculate the volume of a cube, based on the length of its side. The application calculates the volume of the cube using the standard formula: Volume = side³ (Volume = edge x edge x edge), where the side is the length of an edge of the cube.
Also, the application allows calculating a rectangular cube (rectangular prism) when the edges are not equal, where the calculation formula is Volume = length × width × height.
How does the cube volume calculator work?
To calculate the capacity of a cube, follow these steps:
- Enter the side value (L):
- Enter the length of the side of the cube in the field and select the dimension unit if desired.
- Calculate cube volume:
- The calculator will automatically perform the calculation and display the volume of the cube in the selected unit.
Example of calculating the volume of a cube:
- If we have a cube with a side of 5 cm, we would apply the formula: Volume = (5 cm)³ = 125 cm³.
- If we have a cube with a side of 10 in (inches), the volume would be: Volume = (10 in)³ = 1,000 in³.
🟧 For the calculation of the volume of a rectangular cube, we will enter the length, width, and height to obtain its interior capacity according to selected units.
What units can you use in the calculator to calculate the volume of a cube?
The cube volume calculator allows entering values in the following units:
- Millimeters (mm)
- Centimeters (cm)
- Meters (m)
- Kilometers (km)
- Inches (in)
- Feet (ft)
- Yards (yd)
- Miles (mi)
You can calculate the volume for any type of cube, whether small or large, as long as the input value is positive.
Can I change the input and output units? Yes, the calculator allows changing the values to adapt to the metric or imperial system.

Frequently asked questions about the volume of a cube – FAQ
What is the volume of a cube?
The volume of a cube is the amount of space it occupies in three dimensions. That is, it measures how much fits inside the cube.
What is an edge of a cube?
An edge of a cube is any of its sides. All edges – borders – of a cube have the same length.
What is the formula to calculate the volume of a cube?
The formula to calculate the volume of a cube is: Volume = edge x edge x edge, or Volume = edge³, the edge is the length of a side of the cube. For example, if the side measures 5 cm, the volume would be 5³ = cm³.
What units are used for the volume of a cube?
The volume is expressed in cubic units. That is, if the side is in centimeters, its interior capacity will be provided in cubic centimeters (cm³).
How do we know it’s a cube and not another type of prism?
If all dimensions (length, width, height) are equal, it is a cube.
Is it necessary to know all the dimensions of the cube to find the volume?
No. Since all edges of the cube have the same length, knowing one side is enough. When the lengths of the edges start to vary, it is a rectangular prism (rectangular cube).
What is the relationship between the volume of a cube and its surface area?
The surface area of a cube is the sum of the areas of all its faces, which are 6. Although both concepts are related to the dimensions of the cube, they are not directly proportional.
How can I find the length of an edge of a cube if I know its volume?
It involves applying the volume formula inversely. If Volume = edge³, then edge = cube root of Volume. For example, if we have a cube with a volume of 64 cm³, the mathematical calculation would be: edge = √³(64 cm³) = 4 cm.
Can the volume of a cube be zero or negative?
A volume cannot be negative. It is zero if the side length is zero. In real practice, a cube with a side of zero does not physically exist.
