What is Cubic Feet Calculator

A tool that is used to calculate is a calculator. Based on the functions and options, there are different types of calculators. We use calculators to calculate the volume of any three-dimensional object. The length, width and height of the 3D object is used to calculate the volume using a cubic feet calculator.

Problem 1

Calculate the volume of a rectangular box. Where the length, width, and height are 4 feet, 3 feet, and 2 feet respectively.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the rectangle box is 24 cubic feet

Explanation

The volume of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length, width, and height.


Here, length = 4 feet, width = 3 feet, height = 2 feet


Volume = lwh 


= 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 cubic feet

Problem 2

If the length of the edge of a cube is 5 cm. Find the volume of a cube

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of a cube is 125 cubic cm
 

Explanation

 The volume of a cube = edge3


Here the edge = 5 cm


The volume of a cube = 53


= 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 cubic centimeters.

Problem 3

The rectangle tank is of length 25 feet, 10 feet width, and height 5 feet. Find the volume of a tank.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

 The volume of the tank is 1250 cubic feet
 

Explanation

 The volume of the rectangular tank = lwh


Here, l = 25, w = 10, and h = 5


Therefore, the volume of tank = 25 × 10 × 5 = 1250 cubic feet

Problem 4

Calculate the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 36 cm and height of 36 cm.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of cylinder = 146499.84 cm3
 

Explanation

Volume of cylinder = πr2h


Here, r = 36 cm, h = 36 cm


Volume = π × 362 × 36 = 3.14 × 36 × 36 ×36 = 146499.84 cubic centimeters

Problem 5

What is the volume of a pyramid with a base of 6 feet by 4 feet and a height of 9 feet?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of a pyramid is 72 cubic feet
 

Explanation

The volume of a pyramid = â…“ lwh


Here l is length, w is the width of the base, and h is height,


Therefore, volume = â…“ × 6 × 4 × 9 = 72 cubic feet
