By now, students are familiar with the concept that “volume” is a measure of the amount of space an object occupies
W L If we wanted to know the area on the ground that this box was covering. Area of a rectangle A = L X W
H W L If we wanted to know the amount of space that that this box was occupying. Volume of a box V = L X W X H
H W L Volume of a box(be sure to make a note of this)V = (L)(W)(H) Which gives the area
So the volume formula is just the appropriate area formula multiplied by the third dimension V = area of the end X third dimension • From now on, to calculate volume of regular shapes • Find the area of the end • 2. Multiply by the length
Imagine a cup that is the shape of a cylinder The bottom is a circle The third dimension is the height h Therefore: r
