Rectangle Volume Calculator

Calculate the volume of a rectangular prism (box shape) by entering length, width, and height. This calculator multiplies three dimensions to find cubic volume, which is essential for shipping, storage, construction, aquariums, concrete pouring, and any project that involves filling or measuring a rectangular space.

Formula

#
Core Formula
V=L×W×HV = L \times W \times H

How it works: Volume equals length times width times height. All three dimensions must be in the same unit. The result is expressed in cubic units (cubic inches, cubic feet, cubic centimeters, or cubic meters depending on your input).

Worked Example

A box measuring 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet tall: V = 4 x 3 x 2 = 24 cubic feet. This means the box can hold 24 cubic feet of material, equivalent to about 179.5 gallons of liquid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What units should I use?

Use the same unit for all three dimensions. If length is in inches, width and height must also be in inches. The result will be in cubic inches. Mixing units will produce incorrect results.

Can dimensions be decimals?

Yes. Decimal dimensions like 4.5 x 3.25 x 2.1 are fully supported for precise measurements in construction and engineering.

What is the difference between a rectangle and a rectangular prism?

A rectangle is a flat 2D shape with length and width. A rectangular prism (also called a cuboid or box) is the 3D version with length, width, and height. This calculator computes the 3D volume.

How do I convert cubic feet to gallons?

Multiply cubic feet by 7.48052 to get US gallons. For example, 24 cubic feet = 24 x 7.48 = approximately 179.5 gallons.

Can I use this for concrete, soil, or mulch calculations?

Yes. Enter the length, width, and depth of the area you need to fill. The volume result tells you how many cubic feet or cubic yards of material to order.
