The volume of a cuboid is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by the cuboid. It is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the cuboid.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula first calculates the width using the space diagonal, length, and height through the Pythagorean theorem, then multiplies all three dimensions to get the volume.
Details: Calculating volume is essential in various fields including architecture, engineering, packaging, and logistics for determining capacity, storage requirements, and material quantities.
Tips: Enter the length, height, and space diagonal in consistent units. All values must be positive numbers. The space diagonal must be greater than both length and height.
Q1: What is a cuboid?
A: A cuboid is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, where all angles are right angles and opposite faces are equal.
Q2: How is space diagonal related to the dimensions?
A: The space diagonal connects two opposite corners of the cuboid and relates to the three dimensions through the formula: \( d = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2 + h^2} \)
Q3: What units should I use?
A: Use consistent units for all measurements (e.g., all in meters, centimeters, or inches). The volume will be in cubic units of the input measurement.
Q4: Can this calculator handle decimal inputs?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal values for more precise calculations.
Q5: What if the space diagonal is too short for given length and height?
A: The calculator will return an error since the space diagonal must satisfy the condition: \( d > \sqrt{l^2 + h^2} \)
