Volume of a Cuboid
Cuboid is a solid box whose every surface is a rectangle of same area or different areas.
A cuboid will have a length, breadth and height.
Hence we can conclude that volume is 3 dimensional. To measure the volumes we need to know the measure 3 sides.
Since volume involves 3 sides it is measured in cubic units.
Units of Volume
Volume of a cuboid = (length × breadth × height) cubic units.
= (l × b × h) cubic units.
(Since area = ℓ × b)
Volume of a cuboid = area of one surface × height cubic units
Let us look at the given cuboid.
The length of the cuboid = 5 cm
The breadth of the cuboid = 3 cm
The height of cuboid (thickness) = 2 cm
The number of 1 cm cubes in the given cuboid = 30 cubes = 5 × 3 × 2
We find that volume of the given cuboid with length 5 cm, breadth 3 cm and height 2 cm is 30 cu cm.
Therefore, volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height
