Questions and Answers
What does Marcus likely mean by the surface area of a cuboid, and how could he calculate it?
Marcus refers to the total area of all the faces of the cuboid, which can be calculated using the formula $2(lw + lh + wh)$, where $l$, $w$, and $h$ are the length, width, and height respectively.
How can you calculate the surface area of a cube?
The surface area of a cube can be calculated using the formula $6s^2$, where $s$ is the length of a side of the cube.

Study Notes
Shapes and Nets
- Compound 3D shapes can be split into simpler 3D shapes
- A cuboid has 6 faces, 4 rectangles and 2 squares
- A cube has 6 square faces
- A square-based pyramid has 5 faces: a square base and 4 triangular faces
- A cylinder has 3 faces: 2 circles and 1 rectangle
- A triangular prism has 5 faces: 2 triangles and 3 rectangles
- A pentagonal prism has 7 faces: 2 pentagons and 5 rectangles
- An octagonal prism has 10 faces: 2 octagons and 8 rectangles
- A hexagonal prism has 8 faces: 2 hexagons and 6 rectangles
- The surface area of a 3D shape is the total area of all of its faces
Capacity and Volume
- Capacity is the maximum amount that a container can hold
- Volume is the amount of space that a substance occupies.
- 1 litre = 1000 ml
- To measure out a specific volume using a measuring jug, you can measure the volume in parts, using different jug sizes
- If a container is three-quarters full, then the volume of the liquid inside is 3/4 of its capacity.
