Volume Notes

The document discusses how to calculate the volume of different geometric shapes. It explains that volume is measured in cubic units and is found by multiplying the area of the base by the height for prisms and cylinders. For rectangular prisms, volume equals length times width times height. The area of a circle is πr^2 and the volume of a cylinder is the area of the base times the height or πr^2h. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating volumes of various shapes.

Volume

Notes

Volume of Objects

Volume: the amount of 3d space an object occupies


(measured in cubic units)

The rectangular prism has a volume of 18 cubic units


because it is made up of 18 unit cubes

To find the volume of rectangular prisms, multiply the


length by the width by the height

Volume (Rectangular Prism) = length x width x height
What is the area of the shape below?

A= 3Ÿ8
3 feet A = 24 ft2
8 feet

What is the volume of the shape below?

V= 3Ÿ8Ÿ4
3 feet V =96 ft3
8 feet
Practice

Find the volume of the rectangular prism:


Practice

Find the volume of the rectangular prism:


Practice

Total Volume:
V(1)= 1Ÿ7Ÿ6 V(2)= 3Ÿ4Ÿ7 42 cm3 + 84 cm3
V(1) =42 cm3 V(2) =84 cm3 126 cm3
Practice

Find the volume of the rectangular prism:

V= 2Ÿ4Ÿ9
V =72 cm3
Volume of Prisms

Prism: a 3-D shape that has two bases, named after the
shape of its base, and sides that are parallelograms
(ex: rectangular prism, triangular prism, hexagonal prism,
pentagonal prism)

To find the volume of all prisms, multiply the area of the


base by the height

Volume (prisms) = Base(Area of Base) x height

Volume = Bh
Triangular Prisms
What is the area of the shape below?

A= ½(4)(4)
4 cm A = 8 cm2
4 cm

What is the volume of the shape below?

V= ½(4)(4)(6)
V =48 cm3
Practice

Find the volume of the triangular prism:


Area(triangle) = ½bh

A= ½(3)(5) V= (7.5)(7)
A =7.5 yds2 V =52.5 yds3
Practice

Find the volume of the trapezoidal prism:


Area(trapezoid)= ½(b1 + b2)(h)

A= ½(6 + 5)(4) V= (22)(9)


A =22 cm2 V =198 cm3
Practice

Find the volume of the triangular prism:

A= ½(10)(10) V= (50)(13)
A =50 in2 V =650 in3
Volume of Cylinders

To find the volume of a cylinder, find the area of one of


the bases, and multiply by the height

Area = πr2

Volume = Bh
Or
Volume = (πr2)h

Volume of Parallelograms

To find the volume of a prism with parallelogram bases,


find the area of one of the bases, and multiply by the
height

Volume = Bh

Cylinders
What is the area of the shape below?

A= π(3) 2
3 ft. A = 9π ft2

What is the volume of the shape below?

V= (9π)(5)
V =45π ft3
3 ft.
5 ft.
