Volume and Surface Area
- Cuboid
If l, b and h are length, breadth and height of a cuboid, then
Volume = l×b×h
Surface are = 2 (lb +l>h +bh)
Lateral surface area = 2 (l +b)×h
Length of a diagonal = (l² +b² +c²)
- Cube
If a be the length of an edge of a cube, then
Volume = a³
Surface area = 6a²
Length of a diagonal = 3a
Exercise
- If the surface area of a cube is 1176 cm², find
(i) the length of a diagonal
(ii) volume of the cube.
