Volume of Cube

The volume of a cube is defined as the total number of cubic units occupied by the cube completely. A cube is a three-dimensional solid figure, having 6 square faces. Volume is nothing but the total space occupied by an object. An object with a larger volume would occupy more space. Let us understand the volume of a cube in detail along with the formula and solved examples in the following sections.

What Is Volume of Cube?

The volume of a cube is the total three-dimensional space occupied by a cube. A cube is a 3-D solid object with six square faces, having all the sides of the same length. The cube is also known as a regular hexahedron and is one of the five platonic solid shapes. The unit of volume of the cube is given as the (unit)³ or cubic units. The SI unit of volume is the cubic meter (m³), which is the volume occupied by a cube with each side measuring 1m. The USCS units for volume are inches³, yards³, etc.

Volume of Cube Formula

We can calculate the volume of any cube using different formulas based on the given parameters. It can be calculated using the side length or the measure of the cube's diagonal.

Volume of Cube Using Side Formula

The volume of a cube can be found by multiplying the edge length three times. For instance, if the length of an edge of a cube is 4, the volume will be 4³. The formula to calculate the volume of a cube is given as,
Volume of a cube = s³, where 's' is the length of the side of the cube.
