Tastey Tuesday! • Your new Pi Day question is coming on the next slide… • Read until we begin!
Submit your Pi Day answer! The London Eye is an observation wheel above the River Thames in London. The diameter of the wheel is greater than 135 and less than 140 meters. Describe the range of possible radii and circumferences of the wheelrounded to the nearest meter. • Label your answer, be sure your name is on it, and ask yourself: did I answer the question being asked?
So far, we have learned about length. This is a measure of 1 dimension.
Measuring length can be as simple as measuring a straight line segment. 5 inches
When you measure perimeter, you are also measuring length. 5 ft 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 ft 4 ft 3 ft
When you measure circumference, you are also measuring length. 4 x 3.14 = 12.56cm 4 cm
You can find the area of any FLAT shape. 5 cm 11 cm 5 x 11 = 55 square cm
You can even find the area of a circle. 5 x 5 x 3.14 = 78.5 sq. cm 5 cm
Volume is a measure of 3 dimensions: LENGTH, WIDTH, & HEIGHT
Imagine starting with a piece of rectangular paper. 4 in 3 in
Now, suppose that we “stacked” another piece of paper on top of this piece of paper. 4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
Now we have 2 pieces of paper, each with an area of 12. So the volume is 24. 4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
4 in 3 in
Now we have 3 pieces of paper, each with an area of 12. So the volume is 36. 4 in 3 in
If we had 100 pieces of paper stacked on top of one another, what would the volume be? 100 4 in 3 in
4 x 3 x 100 = 1200 100 4 in 3 in
Now that we are working with all 3 dimensions, the units are cubes.
This is 1 cubic inch.1 x 1 x 1 1 in 1 in 1 in
This is 2 cubic inches.2 x 1 x 1 1 in 1 in 2 in
This is 4 cubic inches.2 x 1 x 2 2 in 1 in 2 in
8 cubic inches 2 x 2 x 2 2 in 2 in 2 in
Calculate the volume of this prism. 6 cm 8 cm 5 cm
The volume is 240 cubic cm.6 x 5 x 8 6 cm 8 cm 5 cm
Calculate the volume of this prism. 5 cm 12 cm 3 cm
The volume is 180 cubic cm.5 x 3 x 12 5 cm 12 cm 3 cm
Calculate the volume of this prism. 7 cm 11 cm 4 cm
The volume is 308 cubic cm.7 x 4 x 11 7 cm 11 cm 4 cm
Volume can also be described as AREA of the base x HeightV= Bh
Suppose that this rectangle served as the base of a rectangular prism.
If the area (length x width) of the base is 12, and the height is 2… 2
Therefore, if you know the area of the base and the height of the prism, then you can calculate the volume.
SUMMARYVolume = Length x Width x HeightVolume = Area of Base x HeightV = Bh
