Dynamic cuboids
- Define coordinates A(a,0,0), B(0,b,0), C(a,b,0) and D(0,b,0)
- Create rectangular base using the Polygon
tool
- Construct prism using Prism
or Extrude to Prism
tool

Comparing volumes
- Measure one side of a cuboid, use this to calibrate the scale for a 'true' measurement.
- How do the augmented volumes compare to real-life measurements (i.e tape measure readings. Remember the volume of a cuboid is length x width x depth)?
- What happens when you change the scale. For example, if I halved the 20.5cm spine measurement to 10.25, what would the volume tool () give me then?
- Finally, investigate the ratio of volumes, i.e
