Esi sikhaltyhuleyitha esibala ngokukodwa umthamo we-cuboid, i-metric yenkxaso kunye neeyunithi zobukhosi (ii-intshi, iinyawo, iiyadi, mm, i-cm okanye imitha), kunye nesiphumo sevolumu sinokuguqulela kwiyunithi eyahlukileyo, kunye nefomula yokubala kunye netyhubhu ebonakalayo eguqukayo, isinceda ukuba sifumane iimpendulo kwaye siqonde iziphumo ngokulula.
ICuboid yibhokisi eyomeleleyo enomphezulu wawo wonke uxande lommandla omnye okanye iindawo ezahlukeneyo.
Ikubhidi iya kuba nobude, ububanzi, nokuphakama.
Umthamo we cuboid = (ubude × ububanzi × ubude) cubic units.
Fumana umthamo we-cuboid yemilinganiselo ye-14 cm × 12 cm × 8 cm.
Ukuba sifuna ukuguqula iiyunithi zevolumu zibe ziiyunithi ezahlukeneyo, sinokuguqula iiyunithi zobungakanani ukuba zibe kwivolumu efanayo kuqala,
umzekelo,
ityhubhu inemilinganiselo ye-12.5 phakathi, i-14 phakathi kunye ne-9.3 ngaphakathi.
Ingaba ithini ivolyum kwi-ft³?
Acuboidyinto emile okwebhokisi. Inobuso obuthandathu obusicaba kwaye zonke ii-engile ziziengile ezichanekileyo. Kwaye bonke ubuso bayo buxande. Ikwayiprism kuba inecandelo elinqamlezayo elifanayo ngobude. Enyanisweni yiprism yoxande.
Xa bobathathu ubude bulingana bubizwa ngokuba ngu-aityhubhu(okanye ihexahedron) kwaye ubuso ngamnye busisikwere. Ityhubhu iseyiprism kwaye ikwayicuboid.
