The length, breadth, and height are of the same measurement in a cube since the 3D figure is a square that has all sides of the same length. Below are volume formulas for the most common types of geometric bodies - all of which are supported by our online volume calculator above. A game where you can practise how to tell the time on both analogue and digital devices in this fun maths game.

The surface area (or) total surface area (TSA) of a cube is the sum of areas of all faces whereas the lateral surface area (LSA) is only the sum of the 4 side faces of the cube. You need just two measurements: the diameter of the base and it's height, but the calculus is more involved than most of the other simple bodies. While the easiest way to find a cube's volume is to cube the length of one of its sides, it's not the only way. A triangular prism is a stack of triangles, so the usually triangle solving rules apply when calculating the area of the bases. Since a cube's sides are all equal in length, another way of thinking of a cube's volume is s 3, where s is the length of one of the cube's sides.

Now, it can be concluded that the overall area covered by the cube will be the area of the base multiplied by the height.

You only need a single measurement, then you multiply it by itself and by itself again, equivalent to raising it to the power of 3.
