What to Focus On

  • Volume means space occupied by a solid.
  • Capacity means internal volume.
  • Surface area means the sum of areas of all faces.

  • A cuboid has six rectangular faces.
  • Volume = length × breadth × height.
  • Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl).

  • A cube has six square faces.
  • All edges of a cube are equal.
  • Volume of a cube = a³.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Volume, capacity, and surface area all mean the same thing.

Surface area can be written in cubic units because it comes from a solid.

For a closed box, internal dimensions are found by subtracting the thickness once.
