The volume of a cuboid is the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed within its six rectangular faces. It is calculated as the product of its length, width, and height.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula derives the volume of a cuboid when the total surface area, length, and height are known, by solving for the width dimension.
Details: Calculating volume is essential in various fields including architecture, engineering, packaging, and logistics for determining capacity, storage requirements, and material quantities.
Tips: Enter total surface area in square meters, length in meters, and height in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
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 this formula derived?
A: The formula is derived from the total surface area formula TSA = 2(lw + lh + wh) and solving for width w in terms of known variables.
Q3: What are the units of measurement?
A: The calculator uses meters for all dimensions, but the formula works with any consistent unit system (cm, inches, etc.).
Q4: Can this calculator handle decimal inputs?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal values for more precise calculations.
Q5: What if I get a negative result?
A: A negative result indicates invalid input values that don't form a valid cuboid. Please verify your measurements.
