To calculate the volume of a rectangular solid, multiply the length, width, and height of the object. For example, if a box is 10 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 2 cm high, its volume would be 100 cm³.
Here are some examples of cubic units:
* Cubic meters (m³) are the most common cubic units used in the International System of Units (SI). One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are one meter long.
* Cubic centimeters (cm³) are often used to measure the volume of small objects, such as rocks or coins. One cubic centimeter is equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are one centimeter long.
* Cubic feet (ft³) are commonly used in the United States to measure the volume of large objects, such as rooms or buildings. One cubic foot is equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are one foot long.
* Cubic inches (in³) are used to measure the volume of very small objects, such as jewelry or screws. One cubic inch is equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are one inch long.
