1. What is Volume of Rectangle Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of a rectangular space in liters based on its dimensions in centimeters.

Purpose: It helps in determining liquid capacity or storage volume for rectangular containers, tanks, or spaces.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( V_L \) — Volume in liters
• \( L \) — Length in centimeters
• \( W \) — Width in centimeters
• \( H \) — Height in centimeters

Explanation: The dimensions are multiplied to get cubic centimeters, then divided by 1000 to convert to liters (since 1 liter = 1000 cm³).

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for liquid storage, aquarium sizing, container capacity planning, and many engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all three dimensions in centimeters. All values must be greater than 0. The result will be shown in liters.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why divide by 1000?
A: Because 1 liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters, the division converts cm³ to liters.

Q2: Can I use different units?
A: The calculator expects centimeters. For other units, convert to cm first (10mm = 1cm, 1 inch = 2.54cm).

Q3: Does this work for irregular shapes?
A: No, this only calculates volume for perfect rectangular prisms. Use different formulas for other shapes.

Q4: How accurate is the calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise for perfect rectangles. Real-world containers may have slightly different capacities.

Q5: Can I calculate gallons instead of liters?
A: First calculate liters, then multiply by 0.264172 to get US gallons.
