Q&A for How to Calculate Cubic Inches

The length x width x depth = the total cubic inches. Unless the object you are working with is a perfect cube (all sides are equal,) there is no way to tell with the length, width and depth are. If you are working with a perfect cube just take the square root of 200, then the square root of that (taking 2 square roots will undo the cube and give you the measurements.) In this case, each side will be just under 6 inches (6x6x6), more accurately 5.84 inches.

You could express a volume in cubic kilometers (km³).

If you have one side of a volume that's measured in square inches, you could multiply by a third dimension in inches to arrive at a volume in cubic inches.

There are 1,728 cubic inches in one cubic foot.

Divide the cubic inches by 1728.

Divide cubic inches by 1,728.

The best way to truly understand how this works, is to first start in 2 dimensions. We'll take the 15 by 15 side first. A square inch is the area of a square with 1 inch sides. So when you have 15 inch sides, you simply multiply them together and get 225 square inches. Cubic inches are the same concept, except in 3 dimensions. A cubic inch is a 1x1x1 inch box. if you take the 15x15 inch grid, made up of 225 square inches and raise them by 1 inch, you'll end up with 225 cubic inches (a 15x15x1 inch box) To calculate the cubic inches in a 34 by 15 by 15 inch box simply multiply the numbers together. 34x15x15 = 7650. If it helps, think of "by" being a stand in for "x", the multiplication symbol.

Multiply the three numbers to get the volume in cubic inches. Then divide by 46,656 to get the volume in cubic yards.

One inch = 2.54 cm. 22¼ inches = (22.25)(2.54) = 56.515 = 56½ cm.

First convert all three mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply them together: (19¼)(10 5/8)(13¼) = (77/4)(85/8)(53/4) = 346,885 / 128 = 2,710.04 cubic inches.

A standard cremation urn measures about 200 cubic inches (roughly 4" x 6" x 10"), or 3300 cubic centimeters (roughly 10 cm x 15 cm x 22 cm).

Apparently you're asking how to calculate the lateral surface area of a cylinder. The formula is: A = πdh, where π is 3.14, d is the diameter of the cylinder, and h is its height (or length). The label would have a length equal to the circumference of the can (the can's diameter multiplied by π) and a width (or height) equal to the height of the can.

(8 in.)(12 in.)(6 in.) = 576 cubic inches.

This is not a legitimate conversion. You are attempting to convert a measurement of volume to a measurement of distance. A 1"x1"x3" box is 3 cubic inches, so is a 1.44"x1.44"x1.44" box.

The area of a cube's face is expressed in square units, not cubic. Take the area of one side of the cube, and find its square root. Then find the cube of that number. That's the volume.

If you're referring to a sphere, the volume equals the cube of the radius, multiplied by pi, multiplied by 4/3.

if you know the volume and you want to find the length of an edge, calculate the cube root of the volume. The cube root of one cubic foot is one foot, or 12 inches. That's the length of each edge.

Area is measured in square units rather than cubic units.

One cubic meter is equal to 1,000 liters.

It depends on the shape of the object or container. If a cubic inch takes the form of a cube, it measures one inch along each edge. It could take some other form, however, in which case the length, width and height would multiply together to make one cubic inch. An example is a rectangular block measuring 2 inches long, one inch wide and half an inch tall.

Measure separately the length, width and height in inches. Then multiply those dimensions together. For example, if a block measures 3" by 4" by 5", the volume is 3" x 4" x 5" = 60 cubic inches.

Take half the diameter (the radius), and square it. Multiply by pi. Multiply again by the depth. In this case that yields the volume in cubic inches.

Measure the backpack's length, width and height in centimeters (or millimeters). Multiply the three dimensions together. Divide cubic centimeters by 1,000 (or cubic millimeters by 1,000,000) to get liters.
