2. Volumes of 3D Solids The volume of a solid is the amount of space it occupies. Volume is measured in cubic units, cm 3, m 3, etc. – Type 1: Volumes of prisms – only plane faces In order to determine the volume of a prism you need to know: – the area of the cross-section of the prism (the end face) – The height (distance between the two faces)

3. Volumes of 3D Solids Volume of a prism: V = Area of Cross-Section x Height Cross-Section Height

4. Volume Units = 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm = 1cm × 1cm × 1cm = 1000 mm 3 1cm 3 Recall Yup, metric conversions
