The Geometric Solids These solids take up space. What is VOLUME? It refers to the measure of the amount of space contained in a solid.
The Geometric Solids What is VOLUME? It refers to the measure of the amount of space contained in a solid. It is measured in cubic units.
Example: How many cubes of cubic unit can fit inside the solid?
Example: How many cubes of cubic unit can fit inside the solid?
Example: How many cubes of cubic unit can fit inside the solid?
So how do we determine the volume of a solid? It takes 3x3 cubes to cover the base area. It takes 3x the base area to fill up the whole solid. You need the base area h times. Base area Height h
VOLUME OF SOLIDS PRISM V = Base area x Height of prism CYLINDER V = Base area x Height of cylinder
Exercises on Volume Solve for the volume of each solid
Try these! Which has a greater volume?
Try these! Solve for the volume of each solid
How about the volume of a pyramid?
VOLUME OF SOLIDS PYRAMID V = One-third of the volume of the prism with same base and height
How about the volume of a cone?
VOLUME OF SOLIDS CONE V = One-third of the volume of the cylinder with same base & height
VOLUME PRISM x CYLINDER x PYRAMID x CONE x SUMMARY: VOLUME

Extra Exercises on Volume (seatwork) Solve the following: 1. Find the volume of an oblique prism inclined 45 o from the base, if the area of the base is 20 cm 2 and the lateral edge is 15 cm. 2. Find the volume of a right cylinder with a cylindrical hole if the larger radius is 10 inches, the smaller radius is 8 inches and the height is 9 inches.
