Cuboid
A cuboid is a three-dimensional shape, a six-faced solid. It has twelve edges and eight vertices.

Length

It ought to be mentioned that there isn't any hard and fast standard for naming a cuboid shape's
edge as its length, width (breadth), or height. When a cuboid is positioned horizontally on a desk,
the height symbolizes the length of just about any vertical edge; the length begins to be the larger
of both dimensions of the cuboid's horizontal face, and the width is the smaller of both
measurements.

Formulas of Cuboid
Volume of Cuboid=L ×W × H

Surface area of cuboid=2 [ ( L× W ) + ( W × H ) + ( L × H ) ]

The surface area of a cuboid is defined as the whole area occupied by a cuboid shape. Because a
cuboid is a three-dimensional way of figuring, its surface area is determined by its length,
breadth, and height.

The volume of a cuboid is the amount of space dominated within a cuboid. The volume of a
cuboid is determined by its length, width, and height. As a result, changing any of these
abundances alters the volume of the shape.

Surface area of cuboid=6 s

Where,

S = One side of cuboid.

Let,

If,

6 s=12

s=2

Then,

And,

Surface area of this cuboid=2 ( 2× 2+2 ×2+2 ×2 )=24 m

If we press the cuboid, it will flat and its top face will be larger which means it has a greater
surface area.

Top Face

Surface area is linked with the outer surface of the cuboid, for example, if we have a fixed
volume of 1600.

By taking partial derivative w.r.t. w and l and equating equal to zero to calculate the width,
length, and height to minimize the surface area.

We get,

The figure specifies that there is a relationship between area and volume, the surface area is
related to the outer surface of the cuboid. When we press a cuboid it reduces its volume but the
outer surface remains constant.

V =lwh

When height and width are constant, volume is directly proportional to length.

By increasing the length volume gradually increases but the top surface remains constant.
