About this calculator
A cube has 6 identical square faces. Surface area = 6s². Doubling the edge increases SA by 4× (squared scaling) but volume by 8× (cubed). The SA-to-volume ratio is 6/s — small cubes (e.g. ice cubes) have much higher SA/V, which is why they melt faster than blocks.

V = s³. Six equal square faces.
SA = 2(lw + lh + wh). Box / cuboid surface.
SA = 4πr². Exactly 4× the area of a great circle of the same radius.
SA = 2πr² + 2πrh. Two circular ends + lateral wrap.
SA = πr² + πrl, where l = √(r² + h²) is the slant height.
