Answer explanation

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a closed 3D shape.

Which of the following shows the volume of a cuboid with a length of 20 cm, width of 80 cm and a height of 10 cm?

Put the following volumes in descending order, the largest volume at the top and the smallest at the bottom.

• A triangular prism with base = 12 cm, height = 24 cm and length = 20 cm

• A trapezium faced prism h = 4 cm, parallel lengths = 5cm & 3cm and depth = 40 cm

• A cube with lengths = 0.15 m

• A cuboid of length = 8 cm, width = 9 cm and height = 10 cm
