Introducation

Some figures that are not plane figures

these figures are Cuboids and Cubes.
These figures do not lie in a plane. Such
figures are called Solid (three
dimensional) figures.
 6

A cuboid is
made up of six rectangular regions.
Each region is called a face of the
cuboid. A cuboid has six faces. There
are three pairs of congruent opposite
faces in a cuboid.

FIG NO-1
In Fig-1. ABCD is the top face and
EFGH is the bottom face(or base).ABFE
is the front face and CDHG is the back
 7

face while BFGC and AEHD are the side

faces. The faces other than the bottom
and top are called lateral faces also.

In cuboid, we find eight corners.

Each of these is called a vertex of the
cuboid. In Fig. A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H are
the vertices of the cuboid.
Three distinct
lengths longest of these is called the
length of the cuboid and out of
remaining two, one is called the
breadth(or width)and the other the
height (or depth or thickness) of the
cuboid. For Example: A Chalk Box, A
Classroom, A Cardboard box.
 8

FIG NO-2
The length, breadth and height of a
cuboid are usually denoted by the letter
symbos l, b and h respectively. A cuboid
whose length ,breadth and height are
equal is called a cube.

Surfce of a cuboid consists of six

rectangular faces The sum of the areas
of these six rectangular faces is called
the total surface area of the cuboid.
 9

FIG NO-3
Let the length, breadth and height(in
cm)of a cuboid be l,b and h respectively.
Then, area of bottom(base)and top
faces
=(l × b + l × b)cm2
=2lb cm2
Area of side faces =(b×h+b×h)cm2
=2bh cm2
And area of front and back faces
=(h × l + h × l )cm2
=2hl cm2
Total surface area=(2lb+2bh+2hl )
cm2
 10

=(lb+bh+hl)cm2

The lateral surface area of the

cuboid=2(lh + bh) square units
=2(l + b)h square units
=perimeter of the base
× height

In the case of a cube,l=b=h.

Surface area of a cube of side l units
=2(l×l+l×l+l×l) square units
=6 l2 square units

The space occupied by a

solid(in fact solid region)is called its
volume.A rectangular tin box is to be
made to store oil.The greater the
volume of the cuboidal region,the more
is the quantity of oil it can store.
 11

V=l×b×h
V is the volume of the cuboid(in cm).if
l,b and h are in cm.

In the case of a cube, l=b=h, therefore,

Volume of a cube=L×L×L=L3 cubic
units

Example: find the volume of a block of

Wood whose length, breadth and
Height are respectively 10cm,5cm and
3cm.
Solution: v=l × b × h
V=10×5×3cm3=150cm3

Example: find the volume of a cube

whose edge is 8m.
Solution: volume = L3
= 8×8×8m3
