How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the shape type (cube, rectangular box, sphere, cylinder, or cone) from the dropdown.
  2. Enter the required dimensions that appear — for a box: length, width, and height; for a sphere: radius only.
  3. Volume is shown in cubic units; the calculator also converts to liters and cubic meters for convenience.
  4. Surface area is computed simultaneously — useful for packaging or material cost estimates.
  5. For irregular containers, approximate using the closest standard shape or decompose into sub-shapes.
  6. All dimension inputs must be positive; use consistent units throughout (e.g., all centimeters or all inches).
