VOLUME OF A CUBE
Each cube has equal edges length = width = height, G Then the volume of a cube: Volume = edge x edge x edge If s = edge of a cube We get C Volume = SxSxS = S3 Hence V = S3

Each cube consist of 6 squared faces which have equal area. Area = 6 x S x S = 6 S2 So, A = 6 S2

EXAMPLE 1
Calculate the volume and the surface area of a cube whose the length of the edges is as the following: a. 6 cm b. 10 cm c. 15 cm d. 20 cm.
SOLUTION
a. S = 6 cm. V = S3 = 6x6x6 = 216 cm3 A = 6 S2 = 6x6x6 = 216 cm2
SOLUTION
b. S = 10 cm. V = S3 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1.000 cm3 A = 6 S2 = 6 x 10 x 10 = 600 cm2
SOLUTION
c. S = 15 cm. V = S3 = 15 x 15 x 15 = 3.375 cm3 A = 6 S2 = 6 x 15 x 15 = 1.350 cm2
SOLUTION
d. S = 6 cm. V = S3 = 20 x 20 x 20 = 8.000 cm3 A = 6 S2 = 6 x 20 x 20 = 2.400 cm2
EXAMPLE 2
Calculate the volume and the surface area of a cuboid whose the length of the edges:
a. l = 12 cm, w = 8 cm, h = 6 cm b. l = 15 cm, w = 12 cm, h = 8 cm
SOLUTION
a. l = 12 cm, w = 8 cm, h = 6 cm V=l.w.h = 12 x 8 x 6 = 576 cm3 A = 2 (lw + lh + wh) = 2 (12 x 8 + 12 x 6 + 8 x 6) = 2 (96 + 72 + 48) = 2 x (216) = 432 cm2
SOLUTION
b. l = 15 cm. w = 12 cm, h = 8 cm V=l.w.h = 15 x 12 x 8 = 1.440 cm3 A = 2 (lw + lh + wh) = 2 (15 x 12 + 15 x 8 + 12 x 8) = 2 (180 + 120 + 96) = 2 x (396) = 792 cm2
EXERCISE - 1
Calculate the volume of a cuboid whose height is 20 cm and the base is in the form of a square whose side is 7 cm long
Solution
Given : the length of its base = 7 cm height = 20 cm Volume = Base area x height = (7 cm x 7 cm) x 20 cm = 980 cm3 So, the volume of the cuboid is 980 cm3.
EXERCISE - 2
Calculate the volume and the surface area of a cube whose face diagonal is 4 2 cm
Solution
Given: Face diagonal = 4 2 cm then The length of the edge = 4 V = 43 V = 64 So, the volume of the cube is 64 cm3
Solution
Given: Face diagonal = 4 2 cm then The length of the edge = 4 A=6x4x4 V = 96 So, the surface area of the cube is 96 cm3
