1. Lesson 11.1
Meaning of Volume pp

2. Objectives: 1. To state the volume postulates.
2. To apply the Volume Addition Postulate to solids.
3. To prove volume formulas and apply them to various solids.

3. Definition
The volume of a solid is the number of cubic units needed to fill up the interior completely.

4. Postulate 11.1
Volume Postulate. Every solid has a volume given by a positive real number.

5. Postulate 11.2
Congruent Solids Postulate. Congruent solids have the same volume.

6. Postulate 11.3
Volume of Cube Postulate. The volume of a cube is the cube of the length of one edge: V = e3.

7. Postulate 11.4
Volume Addition Postulate. If the interiors of two solids do not intersect, then the volume of their union is the sum of the volumes.

8. Theorem 11.1
The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width, and height: V = lwh.
