GCSE Maths Practice: volume

Question 6 of 10

This question tests your knowledge of the formula for a cuboid's volume.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which formula gives the volume of a cuboid?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Use formula V = l × w × h. Always check units are cm^3.

To find the volume of a cuboid, multiply length × width × height. This works for any cuboid regardless of dimensions. For example, a cuboid with length 5 cm, width 3 cm, height 2 cm: V = 5×3×2 = 30 cm^3. Understanding the formula helps in real-life calculations like furniture, storage boxes, or tanks. Be careful not to confuse volume with surface area, which adds all the faces. Always include cubic units for volume. Practice with different lengths, widths, and heights to see how the volume changes with dimensions.
