From last lesson: A solid object with two identical ends and flat sides:• The sides are rectangles (or parallelograms) • The cross section is the same all along its length Cuboid Pentagonal prism Triangular prism
The Volume of a Prism How would you find the volume of the cuboid? How could you alter this to find the volume of the triangular prism? What about the pentagonal prism? Cuboid Pentagonal prism Triangular prism
The Volume of a Prism Volume of a prism = area of cross-section x height* *height = distance between two ends Cuboid Pentagonal prism Triangular prism
Is a cylinder a prism? A prism is… A solid object with two identical ends and flat sides:• The sides are rectangles (or parallelograms) • The cross section is the same all along its length
Is a cylinder a prism? Although it is technically not a prism, you can find the volume in the same way. The cross-section is a circle. How do you find the area of a circle?
Volume of a prism = area of cross-section x height* *height = distance between two ends 10cm 18cm2
Volume of a prism = area of cross-section x height* *height = distance between two ends 20cm 5cm 8cm
Volume of a prism = area of cross-section x height* *height = distance between two ends 10cm 6cm 5cm
