Step-by-step solution

Worked out with your numbers. Change any value above and the steps update.

  1. 1

    Formula

    V = side³

  2. 2

    Put in your numbers

    10³ = 1,000

How it works

  • Cube: side³. Box (cuboid): length × width × height.
  • Cylinder: π × radius² × height. Cone: ⅓ × π × radius² × height.
  • Sphere: 4/3 × π × radius³. Pyramid: ⅓ × base length × base width × height.
  • Capacity: 1 litre = 1,000 cm³, 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 L and 1 UK gallon = 4.54609 L.
