3. Formulas to find volume of a cube
and cuboid
Volume of a cuboid =length X breadth X height
Volume of a cube =length X length X length=
(length)3
4. Problems related to volume

Solution: Given: length=3.5m
To find: Volume of a cube=?
Volume of a cube =(length)3
=(3.5)3
=42.875 m3
Ans: The volume of the cube is 42.875m3

If the volume of a cube is 8m3,find its total surface area and
lateral surface area.
Solution: Given: volume of a cube=8m3
To find: Total surface and lateral surface area of the
cube=?
if Volume of a cube =(length)3
(length)3=8
length=2 m.
Total surface area of cube =6 l2= 6 X 22=24 sq.m
Lateral surface area of cube =4 l2= X 22=16 sq.m
