This example demonstrates the calculation of a cuboid's volume by constructing it and applying the volume formula (length×width×height). It involves core concepts like cuboid geometry, 3D space understanding, and coordinate geometry. GeoGebra commands and objects used include Polygon, Cube, and various points and polygons (e.g., k_1, k_2, k_3, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, poly1, a, b, c, d, poly2), which help visualize the 3D shape and compute its volume. Suitable for high school solid geometry education or self-study.
