    Volume = length × width × height. 10 × 7 × 4 = 280 cm³.

  3. 3. 98 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 7 × 7 × 2 = 98 cm³.

  4. 4. 56 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 7 × 2 × 4 = 56 cm³.

  5. 5. 168 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 3 × 7 × 8 = 168 cm³.

  6. 6. 405 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 9 × 9 × 5 = 405 cm³.

  7. 7. 63 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 3 × 3 × 7 = 63 cm³.

  8. 8. 48 cm³

    Volume = length × width × height. 4 × 4 × 3 = 48 cm³.

  9. 9. 280 cm²

    Three pairs of faces: 50, 30, 60. 2 × (50 + 30 + 60) = 280 cm².

  10. 10. 138 cm²

    Three pairs of faces: 30, 9, 30. 2 × (30 + 9 + 30) = 138 cm².

  11. 11. 202 cm²

    Three pairs of faces: 56, 24, 21. 2 × (56 + 24 + 21) = 202 cm².

  12. 12. 136 cm²

    Three pairs of faces: 12, 32, 24. 2 × (12 + 32 + 24) = 136 cm².

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Adds the dimensions instead of multiplying.

    Correction: Volume = l × w × h.

  • Counts only three faces for surface area.

    Correction: A cuboid has six faces — three matching pairs.

Teacher tips

  • · Build cuboids from cubes before using the formula.

Parent tips

  • · Work out how many sugar cubes fit in a box.

Real-life applications

  • · Filling a fish tank, wrapping a present.
