Shape #1 The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 6 feet wide by 12 feet long by 1 foot high The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 6 feet wide by 12 feet long by 1 foot high The volume of the rectangular prism is: 12x6x1 = 72 ft 3 1

Shape #2 The diameter of the cylinder is 8 ft and it is 1 foot high The diameter of the cylinder is 8 ft and it is 1 foot high The volume of the cylinder is: π 4 2 (1) = ft 2 The volume of the cylinder is: π 4 2 (1) = ft 2 2

Shape #3 The dimensions of the triangular prism are 9 feet high by 9 feet long by 1 foot high. The hypotenuse is feet. The dimensions of the triangular prism are 9 feet high by 9 feet long by 1 foot high. The hypotenuse is feet. The volume of the triangular prism is: [(9 x 9) /2] x 1 = 45 ft 3 The volume of the triangular prism is: [(9 x 9) /2] x 1 = 45 ft 3 3

Shape #4 The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 7 feet wide by 13 feet long by 1 foot high. The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 7 feet wide by 13 feet long by 1 foot high. The volume of the rectangular prism is: 7 x 13 x 1 = 91 ft 3 The volume of the rectangular prism is: 7 x 13 x 1 = 91 ft 3 4

Shape #5 The legs of the triangular prism are both 10 feet, the base is 8 feet, the height is 9 feet and the depth is 1 foot. The legs of the triangular prism are both 10 feet, the base is 8 feet, the height is 9 feet and the depth is 1 foot. The volume is: [(8x9)/2] x 1 = 36 ft 2 The volume is: [(8x9)/2] x 1 = 36 ft 2 5

Final Calculations The total amount of soil needed is: = ft 3 The total amount of soil needed is: = ft 3
