Volume of a cuboid = Length x Breadth x Height
Here, Length of the cuboid = 50 cm
Breadth of the cuboid = 45 cm
Height of the cuboid = 30 cm
∴ Volume of the cuboid = 50 x 45 x 30 cm3
Volume of the small cube = Side x Side x Side
= 5 x 5 x 5 cm3
Let the number of the required small cubes = x
∴ x x (5 x 5 x 5) = 50 x 45 x 30
= 10 x 9 x 6
= 540
Thus, 540 smalles cubes can be placed in the given cuboid.
