# Difference between cube and cuboid in detail

Learn and also know the main difference between cube and cuboid. As a student everyone should have minimum knowledge on cube and cuboid differences. If anybody asks you to tell what is the difference between cuboid and cube then you should be able to say the answer.

We know what is a cube and what is a cuboid. Now based on these two shapes i.e. cube and cuboid we will list out some important points. After reading these points we can tell easily the difference between cube and cuboid. Whatever the points are given below, each and every point you should go through.

## List of points that show difference between cube and cuboid shapes:

 CUBOID CUBE The measures of length, breadth and height are different i.e. $\ell$ ≠ b ≠ h The measures of length, breadth and height are equal i.e. $\ell$ = b =h Examples: bricks, duster,… Example: Dice, …. Volume = $\ell$ × b × h Volume = ${ \ell }^{ 3 }$ Lateral surface area = 2h ( $\ell$ + b ) Lateral surface area = 4${ \ell }^{ 2 }$ Total surface area = 2 ($\ell$b + bh + h$\ell$) Total surface area = 6${ \ell }^{ 2 }$ Diagonal =  $\sqrt { { \ell }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } }$ Diagonal =  $\sqrt { 3 } \ell$

Hope the above points gives you some idea about difference between cube and cuboid.
