Really stupid question.... Is a cubic inch: 1in x 1in x 1in?

[aphex]

I.E.

L x W x H

I feel like an idiot today for some reason.

 

[imported_JoePa]

yes

 

[OdiN]

That would make a cube.

What do you think?

 

[dullard]

It could be.

 

[rh71]

so is a square inch still in 3 dimensions ?

 

[Train]

well technically, 1" x 2" x 0.5" could also be one cubic inch 😉

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes

If you're speaking of volume, then yes, it would be the same volume but a cube by definition has all equal sides.

A square has never been three-dimensional. A square is two dimensional.

I thought a cubic centimeter was like one gallon.

I guess i should explain the reason i ask...

Im trying to figure out what size internal frame pack to get to compare to my carry on suitcase....

My carry on (Atlantic Infinity LX) is 21 in. H x 14 in, W x 7 in. D (expandable to 9.5" D)

That puts it at 2058 cu in (2793 cu in) expanded.

The pack im looking at (North Face Terra 50) is 3350 cu in. or the North Face Crestone 70 which is over 5000 cu in.

Shouldn't this be in highly technical? 😉

Yeah, you just multiply all 3 axiis.

 

[QED]

Just rememeber... there are are no stupid questions. Only really stupid people.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

They say there is no such thing as a stupid question but I disagree. I see stupid questions here all the time. Many of them start off with the same 4 letters: YAGT

a cubic centimeter is a fraction of a gallon.... a very small fraction, too

a cubic inch is just in^3 and is used to describe volume.

 

[FoBoT]

no a cubic inch is an inch of diamonds or anything that has a cubic crystal structure

 

[Kenazo]

one cubic inch = 16.39 cubic centimeters.

That was a stupid statement.

No, one cubic inch = 16.387064 cubic centimeters.

1cm^3 = 1ml
