Volume=area * length of that surface
If it is a "square" area then you won't be looking for volume. However, if you are looking for the volume of a rectangular prism, it is simply: Width * Length * Height = Volume This simplifies to Length ^ 3 if you are trying to find the volume of a cube. If you are looking for the volume a square area takes depending on it's height, you can just take the area and multiply it by the height as well. (Width * Length) = Area (Width * Length) * Height = Volume Therefore: Area * Height = Volume
Either could be but the conversion from length to area and volume, in terms of units, is simpler. Area = Length2 and Volume = Length3. If Area were the base, then Length = Area0.5 or sqrt(Area) and Volume = Area3/2 - not a convenient relationship. If Volume were the base, then Length = Volume1/3 or cubert(Volume) and Area = Volume2/3 - again not a convenient relationship. Length is required far more often than area or volume in other dirived measures such as speed, acceleration, force, power and so on. So having to calculate roots is making life complicated uncessarily!
Volume = cross-section area*length
A square has an area not a volume. Here are some equations for a cube and a square area of a square = length² volume of a cube = length³ Remember that units are very important.
