Therefore, volume of cuboid = 1344 cubic cm.

Example 2: Find the volume of a cuboid of dimensions 14 cm × 50 mm × 10 cm.
Solution:
Here, length = 14 cm,
[Given, breadth = 50 mm; we need to convert breadth to same unit and then solve. We
know, 10 mm = 1 cm. Therefore, 50 mm = 50/10 cm = 5 cm].
Breadth = 5 cm,
Height = 10 cm.
Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height.

= 14 × 5 × 10

= 700 cubic cm.
Therefore, volume of cuboid = 700 cubic cm.

Note: In a cuboid, when the length, breadth and height are of different units, convert them
to a same unit and then solve.

Example 3: Find the volume of a cuboid of dimensions 17 mm × 0.2 cm × 12 mm in cu.
cm.
Solution:
Given, length = 17 mm.
We know, 10 mm = 1 cm.
= 17/10 cm.
= 1.7 cm.
Therefore, length = 1.7 cm.

Similarly, height = 12 mm.
We know, 10 mm = 1 cm.
= 12/10 cm.
= 1.2 cm.
Therefore, height = 1.2 cm.

Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height.

Length = 1.7 cm, breadth = 0.2 cm and height = 1.2 cm.
= 1.7 × 0.2 × 1.2 cu. cm.
= 0.408 cu. cm.

Therefore, volume of cuboid = 0.408 cubic cm.
