Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
SideNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.4
HeightNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.5

Result for these sample inputs

26.6666667 m³

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

Volume = side² × perpendicular height/3.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using side = 4 m, height = 5 m, the result is 26.6666667 m³. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.
