Volume (cubic units)
27
Surface area (square units)
54
Diagram

How it works

  1. 1Enter the cube’s side length.
  2. 2Read the volume (side³) and surface area (6 × side²).
  3. 3Check the 3D diagram for the labelled side.

Use cases

  • Find the capacity of a cubic box or tank.
  • Estimate material to cover all six faces.
  • Check geometry homework on cubes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the volume of a cube?

Volume = side³ (side × side × side). A cube with side 3 has a volume of 27 cubic units.

What is the surface area of a cube?

A cube has 6 equal square faces, so surface area = 6 × side². A side of 3 gives 54 square units.

What units does this use?

Whatever unit you enter. Side in centimetres gives volume in cubic centimetres and surface area in square centimetres.
