1. What is Volume in Litres?

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface. The litre (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimetre (0.001 cubic metre).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard volume formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume in litres
• \( \text{Length} \) — Length dimension in metres
• \( \text{Width} \) — Width dimension in metres
• \( \text{Height} \) — Height dimension in metres

Explanation: The formula calculates cubic metres first, then converts to litres (1 m³ = 1000 L).

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Volume calculations are essential in many fields including engineering, chemistry, cooking, and logistics for determining capacity, dosage, or space requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all three dimensions in metres. The calculator will output the volume in litres. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For most applications, measuring to the nearest centimetre (0.01m) is sufficient.

Q2: Can I use different units?
A: This calculator expects metres. For other units, convert to metres first (1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 inch = 0.0254 m).

Q3: Does this work for irregular shapes?
A: No, this only calculates volume for rectangular prisms. Other shapes require different formulas.

Q4: Why is the result in litres?
A: Litres are a more practical unit for most volume measurements than cubic metres.

Q5: How does temperature affect volume?
A: Volume can change with temperature due to thermal expansion, but this calculator assumes standard conditions.
