Space Diagonal of a Cube

Space Diagonal of a Cube
\[d = a\sqrt{3}\]

Variables

d = space diagonal of the cube (m)
a = edge length of the cube (m)

Description

What is this formula?

This formula calculates the space diagonal of a cube. The space diagonal connects two opposite vertices through the interior of the cube.


When to use it

Use this formula when determining the maximum internal distance between two points inside a cube.


Example

If a cube has an edge length of 5 m:


d = 5√3 ≈ 8.66 m
