Question

Three cubes each of side 2 cm are joined together. Find the resulting volume.

• A. 8 $c{m}^3$
• B. 24 $c{m}^3$
• C. 48 $c{m}^3$
• D. 96 $c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

24 $c{m}^3$

When three cubes of side 2 cm are joined together, the resulting object is a cuboid of length 6 cm, breadth 2 cm and height 2 cm as shown in the figure below.

Volume of the cuboid
= Length $\times$ Breadth $\times$ Height
= 6 cm $\times$ 2 cm $\times$ 2 cm
= 24 $c{m}^3$
