Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the volume of a cuboid with length 8 cm, width 3 cm, and height 5 cm.
[2 marks]
2.
A box measures 12 m in length, 4 m in width, and 2 m in height. What is its volume?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a cuboid on the grid with dimensions 6 units by 4 units by 3 units. Calculate its volume.
[3 marks]
4.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculated the volume of a cuboid as 8 × 3 × 5 = 60. Is this correct? Why or why not?
[3 marks]
5.
A rectangular prism has dimensions 9 m, 7 m, and 3 m. Calculate its volume and explain the importance of correctly identifying length, width, and height.
[4 marks]
6.
If a cuboid's length is twice its width, and its height is 5 units, and the volume is 150, find the dimensions.
[3 marks]
7.
A cube has side length 4 cm. Calculate its volume and compare it to a cuboid with dimensions 4 cm by 4 cm by 4 cm.
[2 marks]
8.
A student mistakenly uses area formulas to find volume, calculating 10 × 8 = 80, then multiplying by 4 for height. Explain why this approach is incorrect.
[3 marks]
9.
Given a cuboid with length 15 m, width 4 m, and height 3 m, calculate the volume. Then, find the error if a student reports 180 m³.
[3 marks]
10.
A box measures 10 units by 5 units by 2 units. A student mistakenly swaps the length and height, calculating volume as 2 × 5 × 10. Is this mistake valid? Explain.
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: A cuboid has a volume of 240 cubic units. Its length is 3 times its width, and its height is 4 units. Find all dimensions.
[4 marks]
