About this calculator

Use this calculator to find the volume, total surface area, and space diagonal of a cube from a single edge length. All twelve edges of a cube are equal, and all faces are squares.

The formulas are: volume = a³, surface area = 6 a², and space diagonal = a √3. The space diagonal runs from one corner through the interior to the opposite corner. The face diagonal, which stays on one square face, is a √2 and is not shown here.

Use the same length unit throughout. Volume is in that unit cubed and surface area in that unit squared.

Side: Length of one edge of the cube.

Volume: The space enclosed by the cube, a³.

Surface: The total area of the six square faces, 6 a².

Space diagonal: The interior corner-to-corner distance, a √3.
