1. What is Outer Length of Hollow Cuboid?

The Outer Length of Hollow Cuboid is the length of the outer cuboidal surface or the longer edge length of the base rectangular face of the outer surface of the Hollow Cuboid. It represents the external dimension of the hollow structure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( l_{Outer} \) — Outer Length of Hollow Cuboid (m)
• \( l_{Inner} \) — Inner Length of Hollow Cuboid (m)
• \( t \) — Thickness of Hollow Cuboid (m)

Explanation: The outer length is calculated by adding twice the thickness to the inner length, accounting for the material thickness on both sides.

3. Importance of Outer Length Calculation

Details: Calculating the outer length is crucial for determining the overall dimensions of hollow structures, material requirements, and space planning in engineering and construction applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the inner length and thickness in meters. Both values must be non-negative numbers. The calculator will compute the outer length automatically.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: The calculator uses meters (m) for both inner length and thickness measurements.

Q2: Can I use decimal values?
A: Yes, you can use decimal values with up to 4 decimal places for precise calculations.

Q3: What if the thickness is zero?
A: If thickness is zero, the outer length equals the inner length, indicating a solid cuboid without hollowness.

Q4: Are negative values allowed?
A: No, both inner length and thickness must be non-negative values as they represent physical dimensions.

Q5: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation provides results with 4 decimal places precision, suitable for most engineering applications.
