Volume of a Solid

We will learn to determine the volume of a cube and a cuboid using a 1 cubic unit cube and the formula.

CUBE

\(\text{Volume of the cube}=4\times4\times4=64\text{ cm}^3\)

We find that the cube has 2 main features namely:

The sides are the same length.
Has 6 flat planes of the same size.

CUBOID

\(\text{Volume of the cuboid}=4\times3\times3=36\text{ cm}^3\)

We find that the cuboid has 5 main features namely:

Different side sizes
3 planes of different sizes
8 corners
12 sides
Has space which is volume
