Calculate cubic inches?

If a calculation of volume in cubic inches is needed, all dimensions need to be converted to inches before calculating the volume. For example, if calculating a rectangular prism in cubic inches, the dimensions need to be converted to inches, then the volume is calculated as length times width times height.

How do you find the cubic inches of the length width and height separately?

Cubic inches are all three of those multiplied together. The length, width and height are all measured in inches... not cubic inches, and not square inches.... just inches. If you multiply the length by the width you get the area - a number of square inches. When you multiply the area by the height you get the volume - a number of cubic inches If you have been asked to work out the length, width and height from a number of cubic inches, then you have probably been given a cubed number.... the first ten cubes are # .....1 # .....8 # ...27 # ...64 # ..125 # ..216 # ..343 # ..512 # ..729 # 1000 If you have been asked to work out any other number then either you need to get a calculator and work out the cube root, or you have to use some clues that you have been given in the question.

The area of the base of a rectangular is 3000 square inches and the base of the tank is 324000 cubic inches Find the height of the tank in feet?

The area of the base of a rectangular tank is 3000 square inches and the volume of the tank is 324000 cubic inches. Find the height of the tank in feet? V = Bh h = V/b h = 324,000 in3/3000 in2 h = 108 in Since 1 foot = 12 in, then 108 in are 9 ft (108/12). Thus the height of the tank is 9 ft.
