 Lesson Volume of Solid Figures
1
What I need to Know

In this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Determine the relationship of the volume between a rectangular prism and a
pyramid, a cylinder and a cone, and a cylinder and a sphere.
2. Derive the formula in finding the volume of cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres.

What’s New

In order for us to determine the relationship of the volume between a rectangular prism
and a pyramid, a cylinder and a cone, and a cylinder and a sphere and how the formulas are
being derived, let us understand first on what is volume.
Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object as measured
in cubic units.
Now, let’s take a look with some classified objects.

 What is It

The pictures being presented are examples of a three-dimensional objects namely,

cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, rectangular prism, and a pyramid.
Our main objective is to determine their relationship in terms of their volume.

Activity 1.
Determine the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and of a
pyramid. Then, find their volume.

https://images.app.goo.gl/CejUEWLNJnGFE739

A pyramid is a three-dimensional object with triangles as faces and a polygon base. The faces
are the flat surfaces or sides, and the base is the face at the bottom. A perfect real-world
example of a pyramids are the pyramids of Egypt.

A prism is a three-dimensional object with two polygon bases that are of the same shape and
size. The faces are rectangles. An example of a prism in the real-world is a cardboard box.

So, what is the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and a pyramid
of the same base and height?

When we have a prism and a pyramid with equal bases and height, we can fit the
pyramid inside the prism. As a matter of fact, when this is the case, the pyramid takes up
exactly 1⁄3 of the space in the prism. These facts allow us to see a relationship between the
volume of a prism and the volume of a pyramid when the two have equal bases and equal
heights. That is, the volume of a pyramid is 𝟏⁄𝟑 the volume of a prism with equal height
and base.

2
 How to find the volume of a prism?
In finding the volume of a prism, we are to find how much space is contained in the prism. To
do this, we can take the area of one of the bases and multiply it by the height. So:
 Volume of a prism = (area of base) * height
Now, let’s consider the volume of a pyramid. A pyramid takes up 1/3 of the volume of a prism.
So:
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 (area of the base) * height
Suppose, we have a prism with a base area of 16 square inches and the height of the prism
is 8 inches. We can use our formula to find the volume of the prism:
V = (area of base) x (height)
= 16in² x 8in
V = 128 𝒊𝒏𝟑 (The volume of the prism is 128 cubic inches.)
Now, consider a pyramid with a square base that has an area of 16 square inches, and height
of 8 inches. We can find the volume of the pyramid using the formula, or we can just multiply
the volume of the prism by 1/3.
V = 1⁄3 (𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒) 𝑥 (ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡)

= 1⁄3 (16in²) x (8in)

= 42.7𝑖𝑛3
V =1⁄3 𝑥 128𝑖𝑛3

V ≈ 42.7𝑖𝑛3
(The volume is approximately equal to 42.7 cubic inches.)

What is the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and the volume of a
pyramid?
Do this!
Choose the letter of the correct answer and write it on your activity Notebook.

Check your
answer below

a. When a prism and a pyramid have the same base and height, the volume of
the pyramid is 1⁄3 of the volume of the prism.
b. The volume of the prism is 1⁄3 of the volume of the pyramid.
c. Prism and pyramid have the same volume.
d. If the prism and a pyramid have the same base and height, they also have
Answer: a
the same volume.

Activity 2.
Determine the relationship between the volume of a cylinder and of a cone.

https://image.app.goo.gl/TrRWk8JjpjtcPA

A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid. It is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric

shapes. It is the idealized version of a solid physical tin can having lids on top and bottom.

A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base to a
point called the apex or vertex. A cone is formed by a set of line segments, half-lines, or lines
connecting a common point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is in a plane that does
not contain the apex.

In a similar way, the volume of a cone and a cylinder that have identical bases and heights
are proportional. If a cone and a cylinder have bases with equal areas, and both have identical
heights, then the volume of the cone is one-third the volume of the cylinder.

How to find the volume of a cylinder and a cone?

In finding the volume of a cylinder;

Volume of a cylider = Area of the circular base x height
Area of a circular base = 𝜋𝑟 2
Height = h
Thus, volume of a cylinder of height ‘h’ and base radius ‘r’ can be given as 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
Volume of a cylinder = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
In finding the volume of a cone;
V = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ⁄3 or V = 1⁄3 𝜋𝑟2 ℎ where r ~ radius ; h ~ height

d.The volume of the cone is one-third of the volume of the cylinder if both

Answer: d

Activity 3.
Determine the relationship of the volume of a cylinder and of a sphere.

http://images.app.goo.gl/jlXvpZiGhsM8AxKx8

A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid. It is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric

shapes. It is the idealized version of a solid physical tin can having lids on top and bottom.

A sphere has a three- dimensional shape that looks like a ball with every point on its surface
equidistant from its center.

 How to find the volume of a cylinder and a sphere?

Volume of a cylinder = Area of the circular base x height
Area of a circular base = 𝜋𝑟 2
