Cuboid

Cuboid is a Solid geometrical object, which is defined in 3 d, means we define cuboid in 3 dimension view and proper cuboid definition is– A solid 3 d Geometry, whose all sides are not equal means length, width and height of cuboids are not equal in length and all these sides (length, height and width) of cuboids are define in 3d (3 dimension), that’s why we called cuboid as a 3d structure. Now we discuss geometry of cuboids.

Each cuboid is made by 6 squares which meet at Right Angle means if we connect 6 squares at right angle, then produce geometry is known as cuboid geometry and each cuboid has 8 vertices and 12 edges. Now we discuss formulas for calculating volume and surface area of cuboids:

Volume of cuboids = l * b * h,
Here l is length of cuboid, h is height of cuboid and b is width of cuboid.

Surface area of cuboid = (2 * l + 2 * b + 2 * h),
Here l is length of cuboid, h is height of cuboid and b is width of cuboid,



Suppose, we have a cuboid, whose length is equal to 3 inch, height is equal to 4 inch and width is equal to 5 inch, then,
Volume of cuboid = l * b * h,
                         = 3 * 4 * 5,
                         = 60 inch3.
Surface area of cuboid = (2 * l + 2 * b + 2 * h),                                                
                                                    = (2 * 3 + 2 * 4 + 2 * 5),
                                                    = (6 + 8 + 10),
                                   = 24 inch2.
So, volume of cuboid is 60 inch3 and Surface Area of Cuboid is 24 inch2, where length is equal to 3 inch, height is equal to 4 inch and width is equal to 5 inch.

Surface Area of Cuboid

In Geometry, we come across the two dimensional and three dimensional figures. In our daily life we need to do different mathematical calculations on these geometrical figures and get the results. If we talk about the two dimensional figures, we mostly need to work on their perimeters and areas. On another hand if we need to work on three dimensional figures, we f...Read More

Volume of Cuboid

We come across many two dimensional and three dimensional figures while we study Geometry in our day to day life.  Here in this session we are going to learn about volume of a Cuboid. The purpose of finding the volume of the cuboid is to know the capacity of the three dimensional figure, which tells us how much space the figure occupies in the space. It also helps us to...Read More
