VOLUME OF TRIANGULAR PRISMS AND CYLINDERS
2
MG1.3 Know and use the formulas for the volume of triangular prisms and cylinders (area of base × height); compare these formulas and explain the similarity between them and the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid. Objective: Understand how to calculate the volume of triangular prisms and cylinders. Learning target: Answer at least 3 of the 4 volume questions correctly on the exit ticket.
3
What do prisms and cylinders have in common? They are both 3-dimensional shapes with two identical ends.
4
How do we find the volume of a prism or cylinder? Calculate the area of one end using that shape’s area formula. Take that area and multiply it by the height to get the volume.
5
What is the volume of this triangular prism? Find the area of one of the triangle ends: Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 6 cm × 4 cm = 3 cm × 4 cm = 12 cm² Multiply this area by the “height” (height of the prism, not height of the triangle) Volume = 12 cm² × 9 cm = 108 cm³
6
What is the volume of this triangular prism? Find the area of one of the triangle ends: Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 3 in × 4 in = ½ × 12 in² = 6 in² Multiply this area by the “height” Volume = 6 in² × 2 in = 12 in³

What is the volume of this triangular prism? Find the area of one of the triangle ends: Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 8 cm × 9 cm = 4 cm × 9 cm = 36 cm² Multiply this area by the “height” Volume = 36 cm² × 5 cm = 180 cm³
9
What is the volume of this triangular prism? Find the area of one of the triangle ends: Area of triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 8 cm × 4 cm = 4 cm × 4 cm = 16 in² Multiply this area by the “height” Volume = 16 in² × 12 in = 192 in³
10
What is the volume of this cylinder? Find the area of one of the circle ends: Area of circle = π × radius² = π × (7 cm)² = π × 7 cm × 7 cm = 49π cm² Multiply this area by the height Volume = 49π cm² × 12 cm = 588 π cm³
11
What is the volume of this cylinder? Find the area of one of the circle ends: Area of circle = π × radius² = π × (5 cm)² = π × 5 cm × 5 cm = 25π cm² Multiply this area by the height Volume = 25π cm² × 10 cm = 250π cm³
12
What is the volume of this cylinder? Find the area of one of the circle ends: Area of circle = π × radius² = π × (4 cm)² = π × 4 cm × 4 cm = 16π cm² Multiply this area by the height Volume = 16π cm² × 12 cm = 192π cm³
13
What is the volume of this cylinder? Find the area of one of the circle ends: Radius = 10 cm ÷ 2 = 5 cm Area of circle = π × radius² = π × (5 cm)² = π × 5 cm × 5 cm = 25π cm² Multiply this area by the height Volume = 25π cm² × 12 cm = 300π cm³
14
Direct Station We will use the whiteboards to practice volume problems.
15
Collaborative Station: Create Your Own Shape Each problem will give you a required volume. You must correctly choose a base/height/radius of your shape in order to get that volume. Example: Create a triangular prism with a volume of 12 in³. Sample answers: or
