Volume of Cuboids and Composite Shapes

This video tutorial introduces the concept of composite volumes, focusing on calculating the volume of basic cuboids. It explains how to find the volume of individual shapes and then add them to get the total volume of a composite shape. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to calculating the volume of two cuboids and concludes with additional resources for further learning.

What is the primary focus when dealing with composite volumes?

• Finding the surface area of each shape

• Calculating the perimeter of each shape

• Determining the volume of each shape and adding them

• Measuring the height of each shape

What is the first step in calculating the volume of a composite shape?

• Calculate the perimeter of each shape

• Measure the height of the tallest shape

• Label each shape and find their individual volumes

• Find the surface area of each shape

Which basic shapes are initially focused on in the video?

• Spheres and cylinders

• Cubes and cuboids

• Pyramids and cones

• Prisms and pyramids

What is the formula for finding the volume of a cuboid?

• Length x Breadth

• Length + Breadth + Height

• Length x Breadth x Height

• 2 x (Length + Breadth + Height)

How is the height of the smaller cuboid determined?

• By subtracting the height of the larger cuboid from the total height

• By measuring directly from the diagram

• By adding the length and breadth

• By using the Pythagorean theorem

What is the volume of the smaller cuboid?

• 12 cubic centimeters

• 24 cubic centimeters

• 36 cubic centimeters

• 48 cubic centimeters

What is the breadth of the smaller cuboid?

• 2 cm

• 3 cm

• 4 cm

• 5 cm

What is the total height of the composite shape?

• 9 cm

• 6 cm

• 7 cm

• 8 cm

What is the purpose of labeling the cuboids as number one and two?

• To differentiate their colors

• To identify their positions

• To easily refer to them during calculations

• To measure their surface areas

What is the length of the larger cuboid?

• 12 cm

• 10 cm

• 16 cm

• 14 cm
