C Program to Find Volume and Surface Area of a Cube

This is a C Program to compute the surface area & volume of a cube.

This C Program computes the surface area & volume of a cube.

The formula used to find the surface area and volume of the cube is surface_area = 6 * (a * a) and volume = a * a * a.

Here is source code of the C program to compute the surface area & volume of a cube. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

 * C program to compute the surface area and volume of a cube
 */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
void main()
{
    float side, surfacearea, volume;
 
    printf("Enter the length of a side \n");
    scanf("%f", &side);
    surfacearea = 6.0 * side * side;
    volume = pow(side, 3);
    printf("Surface area = %6.2f and Volume = %6.2f \n", surfacearea,
     volume);
}

In this C program, library function is used in header file to compute mathematical functions. We are entering the length of a side using side variable. Now to find the surface area of a cube the formula, surface area = 6 *(side * side) is used. Then, to find the volume of a cube the formula, volume = pow(side,3) is used. Here, the program uses power function defined in math library. Finally, the surface area and volume will be displayed in the standard output.

 
$ cc pgm45.c -lm
$ a.out
Enter the length of a side
34
Surface area = 6936.00 and Volume = 39304.00
