VOLUME OF CYLINDERS AND CONES
WARM UP
Take a few minutes to write down what you know about volume.
Today we are going to work at finding the formulas for volume of a cylinder and cone. In your groups, use the NETS to help you discover the formulas. build the cylinder and cone look at the basic shapes that make up a cylinder and cone use your prior knowledge of volume of prisms and area to help you
Volume of a Cylinder:
Now, let’s perform an experiment to discover how the cylinder and cone are connected with regards to their volume. Can you predict the volume of each figure? (given that each has the same diameter and height) Let’s look at the relationship between the cone and the sphere first. Prediction: Actual:
Find the volume of the cylinder.
Find the volume of the cone:
