9-6 Volume of Prisms Vocabulary volume

9-6 Volume of Prisms Volume is the number of cubic units needed to fill a space.

9-6 Volume of Prisms You need 10, or 5 · 2, centimeter cubes to cover the bottom layer of this rectangular prism. You need 3 layers of 10 cubes each to fill the prism. It takes 30, or 5 · 2 · 3, cubes. Volume is expressed in cubic units, so the volume of the prism is 5 cm · 2 cm · 3 cm = 30 cm 3.

9-6 Volume of Prisms Additional Example 1: Finding the Volume of a Rectangular Prism Find the volume of the rectangular prism. V = lwh Write the formula. V = l = 26; w = 11; h = 13 Multiply.V = 3,718 in 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms Check It Out: Example 1A Find the volume of each rectangular prism. V = lwh = 2 × 3 × 8 = 48 ft 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms Check It Out: Example 1B Find the volume of each rectangular prism. V = lwh = 1 × 1 × 2 = 2 km 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms Check It Out: Example 1C Find the volume of each rectangular prism. V = lwh = 8.4 × 5.1 × 6 = in 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms To find the volume of any prism, you can use the formula V= Bh, where B is the area of the base, and h is the prism’s height.

9-6 Volume of Prisms Additional Example 2: Finding the Volume of a Triangular Prism Find the volume of the triangular prism. V = BhWrite the formula. V = ( ) __ B = ; h = __ Multiply.V = m 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms The bases of a prism are always two congruent, parallel polygons. Caution!

9-6 Volume of Prisms Check It Out: Example 2C V = Bh = (3)(5.4) = cm 3

9-6 Volume of Prisms Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application Suppose a facial tissue company ships 16 cubic tissue boxes in each case. What are the possible dimensions for a case of tissue boxes? 1 Understand the Problem The answer will be all possible dimensions for a case of 16 cubic boxes. List the important information: There are 16 tissue boxes in a case. The boxes are cubic, or square prisms.

9-6 Volume of Prisms You can make models using cubes to find the possible dimensions for a case of 16 tissue boxes. 2 Make a Plan Additional Example 3 Continued

9-6 Volume of Prisms Solve 3 You can make models using cubes to find the possible dimensions for a case of 16 cubes. Additional Example 3 Continued The possible dimensions for a case of 16 cubic tissue boxes are the following: 16 x 1 x 1, 8 x 2 x 1, 4 x 4 x 1, and 4 x 2 x 2.

9-6 Volume of Prisms Notice that each dimension is a factor of 16. Also, the product of the dimensions (length width height) is 16, showing that the volume of each case is 16 cubes. Look Back 4 Additional Example 3 Continued

9-6 Volume of Prisms Check It Out: Example 3 A toy box is a rectangular prism that is 3 ft long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet tall. Another toy box has the same dimensions, except that it is longer. If the longer toy box has a volume that is 50% greater than the original toy box, what is the length of the longer toy box? The original volume is 3 × 2 × 2 = 12 ft. 50% of 12 is 6, so the longer toy box has a volume of = 18 ft. So L × 2 × 2 = 18, and L = 18 ÷ 4 = 4.5. The length of the longer toy box is 4.5 feet. 3 3
