GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: Volume and Surface Area - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cube and verify a statement about the volume of a solid made from six cubes. It then guides on drawing a cuboid using these cubes and calculating its surface area. The tutorial emphasizes understanding geometric concepts and applying formulas for volume and surface area.

What is the volume of a single cube with a side length of 2 cm?

• 4 cm³

• 10 cm³

• 6 cm³

• 8 cm³

How do you calculate the volume of a solid made from six cubes, each with a volume of 8 cm³?

• Multiply 6 by 8

• Multiply 6 by 6

• Multiply 6 by 4

• Multiply 6 by 2

What are the dimensions of a cuboid made by joining six cubes in a 2x3x1 arrangement?

• 4 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm

• 2 cm x 3 cm x 6 cm

• 6 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm

• 4 cm x 2 cm x 6 cm

Which of the following is a possible arrangement of six cubes to form a cuboid?

• Four cubes in a square
