📘 The Geometric Secret
1 Cubic Centimeter (cm³) = 1 Milliliter (mL)
The beauty of the metric system is the direct link between distance and volume.
If you measure any object in centimeters, the calculated volume is already in mL found directly.
Example: A box 10cm x 10cm x 1cm = 100 cm³ = 100 mL.
🧠 Formulas Used
The calculator applies standard volume formulas, converting inputs to centimeters first.
- Rectangular Box: Vol = Length × Width × Height
- Cylinder: Vol = π × radius² × Height
- Sphere: Vol = (4/3) × π × radius³
✍️ Worked Examples
Example 1: Rectangular Baking Pan
Dims: 20 cm long, 10 cm wide, 5 cm deep.
- Volume: 20 × 10 × 5 = 1,000
Result: 1,000 mL (1 Liter)
Example 2: Test Tube
Dims: 16 mm diameter, 150 mm height.
- Convert to cm: D=1.6cm (r=0.8), H=15cm
- Area: π × 0.8² = 2.01 cm²
- Volume: 2.01 × 15 = 30.15
Result: ~30 mL
📊 Volume of Common Items
Everyday objects measured in mL:
| Item | Volume (mL) | Volume (L) |
|---|---|---|
| Teaspoon | 5 mL | 0.005 L |
| Shot Glass | 44 mL | 0.044 L |
| Cup of Coffee | 240 mL | 0.24 L |
| Soda Can | 355 mL | 0.355 L |
✅ Why Measurement Matters
- Cooking Ratios: In molecular gastronomy or baking, precision volume (mL) ensures the chemical reactions (rising, setting) happen correctly.
- DIY Projects: Mixing epoxy resin often requires precise 1:1 ratios by volume.
