A cube has sides that are 4 cm each, and the dimensions of a cuboid are 2 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm. Find the positive difference between the volume of the cube and that of the cuboid.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Volume of a cube = (Side)3
Volume of a cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
Side of a cube = 4cm
Dimensions of a cuboid = 2 × 3 × 4 cm
Volume of the cube = 43 = 64 cm3
Volume of the cuboid = 2 × 3 × 4 = 24 cm3
Now, the positive difference between the volume of the cube and that of the cuboid = 64 - 24 = 40 cm3
