Question

what is the volume of block ice which is 2 cm long and 1 cm high and 1 cm wide

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
