volume+and+surface+area

[|Project ideas]

WE found that the ideas of volume and surface area are used in endodontics (braces) and in the medical field.

Volume of a cube is easy. It is just length x width x heighth. If it is truely a cube it is side length cubed.

If you have a figure built out of cubes, it's volume is just how many cubes there are. The surface area is how many sides are exposed. In other words, if you needed to paint the figure, how many 1 x 1 squares would you need to paint.
