The Volume of Complex Figures
All of the formulas for volume can be found on the sheet posted at the top of the Measurement and Geometry Page This sheet will be provided to you on all quizzes, tests, and exams, so there is no need to memorize the structure.
We will try an example of each of the more complex formulas just to be sure we are clear on the order of operations
the Great Pyramid of Khufu The Great Pyramid of Giza. Built in 2560 BC, it is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis.
This pyramid is 147m tall. The length of each base side is 230 m Determine its volume
Find the Volume of the Pyramid 3 V = (230m)(230m)(147m) V = m 3 V = m 3 3 V = (L)(W)(H)
