Prism 3-D Shape Two bases that are parallel Volume How much an item holds

3 cm 4 cm 14 cm 4 X 3 X 2 4 X 3 X 3 4 X 3 X 1 4 X 3 X 4 4 X 3 X 5 4 X 3 X 6 = 12 = 24 = 36 = 48 = 60 = 72 4 X 3 X 14= 168 cm 3 Formula for volume = area of the base X height V = Bh Not in notes (B)(h)

7 ft 3 ft V = Bh V= 35 X 3 V= 105 ft 3 Step 1: Write the formula Find the Volume 5 ft Step 2: highlight base Step 3: Find area of base B= 5 X 7 = 35 Step 4: Substitution Step 5: Solve EX 1)

6 in 4 m 20 m EX 2) EX 3) V = Bh V= 36 X 6 V= 80 X 4 V= 216 in 3 V= 320 m 3 B = 6 X 6 = 36 B = 4 X 20 = 80

EX 4) 4 cm 6 cm 10 cm B = 4 X 6 2 = 12 V = Bh V = 12 X 10 V = 120 cm 3 B = b X h 2 b h

V = Bh V = 6 · 6 V = 36 B = 3 X 4 2 = 6
