Volume of a Cuboid
A cuboid is a 3 dimensional shape.
Therefore to work out the volume we need to know 3 measurements.
Look at this shape. There are 3 different measurements: Height, Width, Length |
The volume is found using the formula:
Volume = Height × Width × Length
Which is usually shortened to:
V = h × w × l
Or more simply:
V = hwl
In Any Order
It doesn't really matter which one is length, width or height, so long as you multiply all three together.
Example: What is the volume:
The volume is: 4 × 5 × 10 = 200 units3
It also works out the same like this: 10 × 5 × 4 = 200 units3 |
