Question

Five identical cubes, each of edge 5 cm, are placed adjacent to each other. Find the volume of the resulting cuboid.

Answer 1

We have,

Length of the resulting cuboid, l = 5 × 5 = 25 cm,

Breadth of the resulting cuboid, b = 5 cm and 

Height of the resulting cuboid, h = 5 cm

Now,

Volume of the resulting cuboid = lbh

= 25 × 5 × 5

= 625 cm³ 

So, the volume of the resulting cuboid is 625 cm³
