Calculate Cuboid Volume: 15 cm² Base Area with 3 cm Height

Question

Given the cuboid of the figure:

The area of the base of the cuboid is 15 cm²,

The length of the lateral edge is 3 cm.

what is the volume of the cuboid

00:00 Calculate the volume of the box

00:03 The area of the rectangle according to the given data

00:09 The sides of the rectangle are the width and length of the box

00:18 The area of the rectangle equals the height multiplied by the length of the box

00:24 Area of the rectangle according to the given data

00:27 We'll use the formula for calculating box volume

00:30 Width multiplied by Height multiplied by Length

00:34 Substitute appropriate values into the formula according to the known data and solve for the volume

00:52 Here is the solution

To calculate the volume of a cuboid, as we mentioned, we need the length, width, and height.

It is important to note that in the exercise we are given the height and the base area of the cuboid.

The base area is actually the area multiplied by the length. That is, it is the data that contains the two pieces of information we are missing.

Therefore, we can calculate the area by height * base area

15*3 = 45

This is the solution!

45 cm²
