Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

### Volume : Cube, Cuboid, Cylinder

In the topic "mensuration", the foundation focuses on learning

•  what is measurement standard?

•  Absolute and Derived Standards

In this page, Finding volume of simple figures (cube, cuboid, and cylinder) are revised without much discussion.

Which of the following is the measure of volume?

• distance-span between two points
• surface-span within a closed shape
• space-span within a closed solid
• space-span within a closed solid

The answer is "space-span within a closed solid"

What is the volume of a cube of side a?

• 6 xx a^2
• a^3
• a^3

The answer is "a^3".

What is the volume of a cuboid of length l, breadth b, and height h?

• lbh
• lbh
• 2 xx (lb+bh+hl)

The answer is "lbh".

What is the volume of a cylinder of height h and radius r? Note: As per Cavalieri's principle, the volume of cylinder equals volume of a solid of same cross-section at all height levels.

• area of cross section multiplied the height
• pi xx r^2 xx h
• both the above
• both the above

The answer is "both the above". The formula is explained in the next page.

Volume of Some Solids : Volume of cube = a^3

Volume of cuboid = lbh

Volume of cylinder = pi r^2 h

Solved Exercise Problem:

What is the volume of a cuboid of length 2cm, breadth 3cm and height 4cm?

• 12cm^3
• 24cm^3

The answer is "24cm^3".
