Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

Back

V = (Base Area) × (Height)

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

Back

V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Front

What is the base area of a triangular prism?

Back

Base Area = (1/2) × base × height of the triangle.

Front

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

V = length × width × height.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units, such as cm³, m³, etc.

Front

If the height of a prism is doubled, what happens to its volume?

Back

The volume also doubles.

Front

What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

V = π(3 cm)²(5 cm) ≈ 141.37 cm³.

Front

How do you round a volume to the nearest whole number?

Back

Look at the first decimal place; if it's 5 or more, round up.

Front

What is the volume of a triangular prism with a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 10 cm?

Back

V = 20 cm² × 10 cm = 200 cm³.

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and volume of a prism?

Back

Volume is directly proportional to the base area.
