Parallelepiped Volume Calculator (oblique)
This calculator computes the parallelepiped volume (oblique): exact formula V = |a·(b×c)|, worked example edges (2,0,0),(1,3,0),(0,1,4) → V = 24.

How the parallelepiped volume (oblique) Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula V = |a⃗ · (b⃗ × c⃗)|. Worked example: edges (2,0,0), (1,3,0), (0,1,4) → V = 24 cm³. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in cubic units (m³, ft³, liters); full precision is kept until the final rounding. Radius fields expect radii — halve any diameter before entering it.
- 1
Enter the measurements

Tips
- 1
Volume scales with the cube of linear dimensions
- 2
Convert results: 1 m³ = 1000 L, 1 ft³ = 7.48 US gal
- 3
π ≈ 3.14159 — precision kept to the last step
Common Mistakes
Mixing units (cm radius with m height)
Entering a diameter where the formula wants a radius
Forgetting the solid must be closed — check h > 0
