FAQs on Class 9 Maths Question Answers - Surface Area and Volume of a Cuboid and Cube

1. What is the formula to calculate the surface area of a cuboid?
Ans. The formula to calculate the surface area of a cuboid is 2(lw + lh + wh), where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the cuboid, respectively.
2. How do you find the volume of a cube?
Ans. The volume of a cube can be found by raising the length of one side to the power of 3. So, the formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where s represents the length of a side.
3. Can the surface area of a cuboid be greater than its volume?
Ans. No, it is not possible for the surface area of a cuboid to be greater than its volume. The surface area represents the total area of the six faces of the cuboid, whereas the volume represents the space enclosed by the cuboid. Since surface area is measured in square units and volume is measured in cubic units, the volume will always be greater than or equal to the surface area.
4. How can we calculate the length of a side of a cube if we know its volume?
Ans. To calculate the length of a side of a cube if we know its volume, we can take the cube root of the volume. So, if V is the volume of the cube, then the length of a side can be found using the formula s = ∛V.
5. Can a cuboid and a cube have the same volume but different surface areas?
Ans. Yes, it is possible for a cuboid and a cube to have the same volume but different surface areas. Since the volume only depends on the length of the sides, different combinations of length, width, and height can result in the same volume. However, the surface area also takes into account the shape and arrangement of the sides, so different dimensions can lead to different surface areas.
