cuboid, paper, a pencil

Method:

1. Take a cuboidal object, say a duster. Then, using

a ruler measure its length, breadth and height.

2. Record your readings in an observation table
as shown below.

3. Calculate its volume.

Dimensions Volume (V)
Objects
Length (l) Breadth (b) Height (h) = l × b × h
