Volume of Prisms & Cylinders
2
Definitions A prism is a three-dimensional figure named for the shape of its bases. The two bases are congruent polygons. All of the other faces are parallelograms.
3
Every prism is named by its BASE.
Triangular prism Height Base
4
If all six faces of a rectangular prism are squares, it is a cube.
Remember!
5
Definition of a Cylinder
A cylinder is made up of two identical circular bases and one rectangle.
6
Definition of a Cylinder continued…
The BASE of a cylinder is the circle at the top or at the bottom. Height The HEIGHT is the distance between the two circular bases. Base
7
How to Find Volume Volume of all prisms and cylinders is found by multiplying the area of the base times the height. Step 1: Decide what shape the base is. (rectangle, triangle or circle) Step 2: Find the area of the base. Step 3: Multiply by height.
8
Find the volume of the rectangular prism
Step 1: Determine what shape the base is: Rectangle Step 2: Find the area of the base (8.5)(5) = Step 3: Multiply by the height: 42.5(6) = 42.5 6 in. 255 in3 5 in. 8.5 in.
9
Find the volume of the triangular prism
Step 1: Determine what shape the base is: Triangle Step 2: Find the area of the base ½ (12)(10) = Step 3: Multiply by the height: 60(14)= 14 ft 60 12 ft To find the area of a triangle multiply ½(base)(height) 840 ft 3 10 ft 12 ft
10
Find the volume of the cylinder.
Step 1: Determine what shape the base is: circle Step 2: Find the area of the base p (52) = Step 3: Multiply by the height: 25 p(15)= 15 in. 25p 375p in3 Area of a circle is found by multiplying p by radius squared. Radius = 5 in!
