Volume measures the amount of space a three-dimensional object occupies. It is measured in cubic units (e.g., cm³, m³).
A cuboid is a rectangular box with six rectangular faces.
Formula:
Volume of a cuboid = length × width × height
Example:
A cuboid has a length of 5 cm, a width of 3 cm, and a height of 4 cm.
Volume = 5 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm = 60 cm³
A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two identical parallel faces (called bases) and rectangular faces connecting them.
Formula:
Volume of a prism = area of the base × height
Example:
A triangular prism has a base with an area of 10 cm² and a height of 7 cm.
Volume = 10 cm² × 7 cm = 70 cm³
