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 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 height times box length

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 times height times length

00:34 We'll substitute appropriate values according to the data and solve for volume

00:52 And this is the solution to the question

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
