Example 11: A wall of length 10 m was to be built across an open ground. The height of the wall is 4 m and thickness of the wall is 24 cm. If this wall is to be built up with bricks whose dimensions are 24 cm × 12 cm × 8 cm, how many bricks would be required?
Cube & Cuboid
Finding volume of a cube or a cuboid is quite simple. Every cube/cuboid has 6 sides. All we need is multiply the length, breadth and height to find the volume or capacity. However, there is some difference between volume and capacity of an object. This has been explained in the video embedded in the end of the post.
A cube is a cuboid that has all edges of equal length. Hence, every cube is a cuboid as well but every cuboid is not a cube.
Volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height = l * b * h
Volume of cube = a³ ( where a is any edge of the cube)
It is recommended to understand the core concept of area, surface area and volume before we attempt any question based on these concepts.
