Volume of a cuboid
Formula: a * b * h = V
Example calculation: 10cm * 5cm * 6cm = 300cm3
Shell of a cuboid
Formula(a b) * 2 = M
Shell = (circumference of the base) * 2
Example calculation: (12cm 7cm) * 2 = 38cm2
Surface area of a cuboid
Formula: 2 * (a * b a * c b * c) = O
Example calculation: 2 * ((10cm * 5cm) (10cm * 4cm) (5cm * 4cm)) = 220cm2
Properties
A cuboid is a geometric figure and consists of six rectangles, two of which are parallel to each other.
The solid has
- six rectangles as a surface, which are at right angles to each other.
- eight right-angled corners and eight vertices.
- twelve edges (four of which have the same length (a)).
Here are some examples of how to calculate the surface area, the envelope or the volume (volume) of a cuboid:
The formula for the volume of a cuboid is V = a * b * h. To calculate the volume, you need the length a, the width b and the height h.
The lateral surface area is the sum of the four side surfaces. The formula for the lateral surface is M = (a b ) * 2. The lateral surface is the surface of the body without the base surface and the top surface.
The formula for the surface area is O = 2 * (a * b a * c b * c) or, put more simply, O = 2ab 2ac 2bc. The surface area is therefore the lateral surface area plus the base area and the top area.
