3 <p>The perimeter of a shape is the total length of its boundary. For a cuboid, the perimeter refers to the total distance around its edges. Perimeter is also used for fencing a property, sewing, and more. In this topic, we will learn about the perimeter of a cuboid.</p>

4 <h2>What is the Perimeter of a Cuboid?</h2>

5 <p>The perimeter<a>of</a>a cuboid is the total length around its edges. By adding the lengths of all the edges, we get the perimeter of the shape.</p>

6 <p>The<a>formula</a>for the perimeter of the edges of a cuboid is 𝑃 = 4(l + w + h), where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the cuboid. For instance, if a cuboid has dimensions, l = 6, w = 4, and h = 10, then its perimeter is P = 4(6 + 4 + 10) = 80.</p>

7 <h2>Formula for Perimeter of Cuboid - 𝑃 = 4(l + w + h)</h2>

8 <p>Let’s consider another example of a cuboid with dimensions, 𝑙 = 5, 𝑤 = 3, and 𝑏 = 2.</p>

9 <p>So the perimeter of the cuboid's edges will be: 𝑃 = 4(l + w + h) = 4(5 + 3 + 2) = 40.</p>

10 <h2>How to Calculate the Perimeter of a Cuboid</h2>

11 <p>To find the perimeter of a cuboid, we just need to apply the given formula and<a>sum</a>all the edges of the cuboid. For instance, a given cuboid has dimensions of l = 7, w = 3, h = 5. Perimeter = 4(l + w + h) = 4(7 + 3 + 5) = 60 cm.</p>

12 <p>Example Problem on Perimeter of Cuboid </p>

13 <p>For finding the perimeter of a cuboid, we use the formula, 𝑃 = 4(l + w + h).</p>

14 <p>For example, let’s say, l = 6 cm, w = 4 cm, and h = 3 cm.</p>

15 <p>Now, the perimeter = 4(l + w + h) = 4(6 + 4 + 3) = 52 cm.</p>

16 <p>Therefore, the perimeter of the cuboid is 52 cm.</p>

32 <p>A rectangular gift box has a perimeter of 64 cm around its edges. If the length is 10 cm and the width is 8 cm, what is the height of the box?</p>

31 <p>A rectangular gift box has a perimeter of 64 cm around its edges. If the length is 10 cm and the width is 8 cm, what is the height of the box?</p>

33 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

32 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

34 <p>Height of the box = 4 cm.</p>

33 <p>Height of the box = 4 cm.</p>

35 <h3>Explanation</h3>

34 <h3>Explanation</h3>

36 <p>Let ‘h’ be the height of the box.</p>

35 <p>Let ‘h’ be the height of the box.</p>

37 <p>And the given perimeter = 64 cm.</p>

36 <p>And the given perimeter = 64 cm.</p>

38 <p>Length = 10 cm,</p>

37 <p>Length = 10 cm,</p>

39 <p>Width = 8 cm.</p>

38 <p>Width = 8 cm.</p>

40 <p>Perimeter of cuboid = 4(l + w + h).</p>

39 <p>Perimeter of cuboid = 4(l + w + h).</p>

41 <p>64 = 4(10 + 8 + h) 64</p>

40 <p>64 = 4(10 + 8 + h) 64</p>

42 <p>= 4(18 + h) 64 ÷ 4</p>

41 <p>= 4(18 + h) 64 ÷ 4</p>

43 <p>= 18 + h 16 = 18 + h</p>

42 <p>= 18 + h 16 = 18 + h</p>

44 <p>h = 16 - 18</p>

43 <p>h = 16 - 18</p>

45 <p>h = 4</p>

44 <p>h = 4</p>

46 <p>Therefore, the height of the box is 4 cm.</p>

45 <p>Therefore, the height of the box is 4 cm.</p>
