A cube has 6 identical square faces.

 

a cube

 

The volume is how much room it takes up inside!

To find it we multiply the width and height by the depth.

 

In this case, that is 4 x 4 x 4

The volume = 64 cm3

 

A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces.

We find the volume the same way we find the volume of the cube.

We multiply the width and height by the depth.

 

In this case, that is  7 x 5 x 2

The volume = 70 cm3
