Question

The diagram shows a cuboid ABCDEFGH

ABCD is a square 25cm^2
CG=12cm
Find the volume of the cuboid

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume of cuboid = AC x CD x CG. (Cuboid formula is l x b x h)

Now, given, area of ABCD is 25.

Area of square = a² or AC x CD

Therefore, substituting that in the first line, we get,

25 x CG = volume,

or 25 x 12 = 300 cm³. (Given CG is 12cm)
