Find volumes of prisms. Find volumes of cylinders.
The volume of a figure is the measure of the amount of space that a figure encloses. Volume is measured in cubic units. (units³) You can create a rectangular prism from different views of the figure to investigate its volume.
If a prism has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and each base has an area of B square units, then V=Bh. Area of Base=B h
a 8 cm 17 cm 13 cm Find the volume of the triangular prism.
a² + b² = c²Use Pythagoream Theorem. a² + 8² = 17²b=8, c=17 a² + 64 = 289Multiply. a² = 225Subtract 64 from both sides. a = 15Take the square root of both sides. V= BhNext, find the volume of the prism. V=½(8)(15)(13) Substitute the numbers in. V=780 cm³ Multiply.
Find the volume of the rectangular prism.
8(3)= 24Find the area of the base. V= 24(12) Then plug the area of the base into the formula. V= 288 in³ Multiply.
If a cylinder has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and the bases have radii of r units, then V=Bh or V=πr²h. Area of base= πr² r
Find the volume of the cylinder. r= 4.6 m h=12.4
V= ¶r²hUse the volume formula for cylinders. V= ¶(4.6²)(12.4) r= 4.6 m, h= 12.4 m V≈824.3 m³ Multiply. R=
If two solids have the same height and the same cross- sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume.
If a cylinder has a base with an area of B square units and a height of h units, then its volume is Bh cubic units, whether it is right or oblique. h
Find the volume of the oblique cylinder. 4 yd 9 yd
V= ¶r²h Use the formula for a right cylinder. V=¶(4²)(9) r=4 yd, h=9 yd V= yd³ 9 4
