Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

Volume of Prisms & Cylinders

REMEMBER:

Volume is the space inside a 3D shape! Think, how much water is needed to fill up a pull. Because it is dealing with 3D shapes, you units are going to be cubed!

Also known as cubes

V=lwh

l = length
w = width
h = height

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the prism?

• 630

• 630in

• 630 $$in^2$$

You need to first identify the shape of the base.

V=Bh

B = area of the base shape
h = height

Multiple Choice

What equation will we use to find the area of the base?

• $$A\ =\ \frac{1}{2}h\left(b_1+b_2\right)$$

• $$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$$

• $$A\ =\ \pi r^2$$

• $$A\ =\ s^2$$

Multiple Choice
