Answer:
Many things are made in the shape of a cuboid, such as drink cartons and
cereal boxes. This activity is about finding the volumes of cuboids.
Information sheet
The volume of an object is the amount of space it fills.
Large volumes are measured in cubic metres (m3
).
Smaller volumes are measured in cubic centimetres (cm3
) or cubic millimetres (mm3
).
In this cuboid there are 3 layers of cubes.
There are 2 rows of 4 cubes in each layer.
The total number of cubes = 4 × 2 × 3
The volume of the cuboid = 4 × 2 × 3 = 24 cm3
For any cuboid:
Volume = length × width × height
or Volume = area of cross-section × length
The volume of liquids is usually measured in litres or millilitres.
1 litre = 1000 ml and 1 ml = 1 cm3
1 litre = 1000 cm3
and 1 m
3
= 1000 litres
