Volume of a Cuboid

A cuboid is a 3 dimensional shape.
Therefore to work out the volume we need to know 3 measurements.

Look at this shape. There are 3 different measurements: Height,   Width,   Length

The volume is found using the formula:

Volume = Height × Width × Length

Which is usually shortened to:

V = h × w × l

Or more simply:

V = hwl

In Any Order

It doesn't really matter which one is length, width or height, so long as you multiply all three together.

Example: What is the volume:

The volume is: 4 × 5 × 10 = 200 units3   It also works out the same like this: 10 × 5 × 4 = 200 units3
