2. Warm-Up
Find the area of each polygon or circle.
1. Trapezoid, bases 12 ft and 18 ft, height 3 ft
ANSWER
324 ft2
2. Circle, diameter 8.2 in.
ANSWER
7.27 in.2
3. Regular hexagon, side length 14 cm
ANSWER
cm2

3. Example 1
Find the volume of the puzzle piece in cubic units.
3-D PUZZLE

4. Example 1
SOLUTION
To find the volume, find the number of unit cubes it contains. Separate the piece into three rectangular boxes as follows:
The base is 7 units by 2 units. So, it contains 7 . 2, or 14 unit cubes.
The upper left box is 2 units by 2 units. So, it contains 2 . 2, or 4 unit cubes.
The upper right box is 1 unit by 2 units. So, it contains 1 . 2, or 2 unit cubes.
By the Volume Addition Postulate, the total volume of the puzzle piece is = 20 cubic units.

5. Example 2
Find the volume of the solid.
a. Right trapezoidal prism
SOLUTION
(3)(6 + 14)
a. The area of a base is 1 2
= 30cm2 and h
= 5 cm.
V = Bh = 30(5) = 150cm3

6. Example 2
Find the volume of the solid.
b. Right cylinder
SOLUTION
b. The area of the base is
π 92, or 81πft2. Use h = 6 ft to find the volume.
V = Bh = 81π(6) = 486π ≈ ft3

7. The volume of the cube is 90 cubic inches. Find the value of x.
Example 3
The volume of the cube is
90 cubic inches. Find the value of x.
ALGEBRA
SOLUTION
A side length of the cube is x inches.
V = x3
Formula for volume of a cube
90 in3. = x3
Substitute for V.
4.48 in. ≈ x
Find the cube root.

2. Find the volume of a square prism that has a base edge length of 5 feet and a height of 12 feet.
300 ft3
ANSWER

9. Guided Practice
3. The volume of a right cylinder is 684π cubic inches and the height is 18 inches. Find the radius.
in. 38
ANSWER

10. Find the volume of the oblique cylinder.
Example 4
Find the volume of the oblique cylinder.
SOLUTION
Cavalieri’s Principle allows you to use Theorem 12.7 to find the volume of the oblique cylinder.
V = π r2h
Formula for volume of a cylinder
= π(42)(7)
Substitute known values.
= 112π
Simplify. ≈
Use a calculator.
The volume of the oblique cylinder is about cm3.

11. Example 5
The sculpture is made up of 13 beams. In centimeters, suppose the dimensions of each beam are 30 by 30 by 90. Find its volume.
SCULPTURE
SOLUTION
The area of the base B can be found by subtracting the area of the small rectangles from the area of the large rectangle.
B = Area of large rectangle – 4 Area of small rectangle
= – 4( )
= 35,100 cm2

12. Use the formula for the volume of a prism.
Example 5
Use the formula for the volume of a prism.
V = Bh
Formula for volume of a prism
= 35,100(30)
Substitute.
= 1,053,000 cm3
Simplify.
The volume of the sculpture is 1,053,000 cm3, or m3.

17. Lesson Quiz
4. A cylindrical beaker with diameter 10 in. and height 12 in. is filled with water that is then poured into a rectangular pan that is 14 in. by 9 in. by 3 in. What is the volume of each solid? Would the water overflow the pan? If so, what is the height of the water in the beaker after the pan is filled?
ANSWER
cylinder: in.3; pan: 378 in.3; Yes, it would
overflow the pan. After the pan is filled , the
height of the water in the beaker will be about
7.2 in.
