Why this page exists

Cube geometry gets easier when edge length is turned into one space-diagonal result instead of being worked out by hand. This calculator helps visitors calculate the diagonal running through the cube from one corner to the opposite corner using standard cube-diagonal math.

Calculate the space diagonal of a cube from the edge length entered.

Result

10.3923

Estimated cube diagonal based on edge length multiplied by the square root of 3.

Cube diagonal10.3923

Edge length used6.0000

Formula basis usededge length x square root of 3

Square-root factor used1.7321

6.0000 multiplied by the square root of 3 gives a cube diagonal near 10.3923.
The result is the long line running from one corner of the cube through the interior to the opposite corner.
Use the same unit for edge length throughout, because the diagonal stays in that same unit basis.

This is standard cube-diagonal math. Use a consistent unit for edge length so the diagonal result stays on the same basis.
