The Volume of a Box calculator computes 
Box aka Parallelepiped the volume of a box (a.k.a. rectangular parallelepiped) based on the length, height and depth (see diagram).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (l) length of the box
- (h) height of the box
- (d) depth of the box
Volume of a Box (V): The Volume (V) is returned in cubic meters. However, this can be automatically converted into many other volume units (e.g. cubic feet, gallons, litres) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science
A box is three dimensional volume with perpendicular corners. A special case of the box is a cube where all dimensions are the same.
A box shape is very common in construction and other manufacturing due to the ease in establishing consistency and in stacking and measuring.
