Volume of Prisms and Pyramids

Volume of Prisms

V = Bh B = area of BASE h = HEIGHT of the solid (use different formulas according to the shape of the base) h = HEIGHT of the solid (distance from base to base)

EX: Find the volume. V = Bh 6 m 8 m 9 m V = 216 m3

EX: Find the volume. V = Bh 4 in 3 in 2 in V = 12 in3

EX: Find the volume. 8.5 ft V = Bh 3.2 ft V = 372.64 ft3 13.7 ft

EX: Find the volume. V = Bh V = 225 cm3
