Objectives • Find volumes of prisms. • Find volumes of cylinders.
Volumes of Prisms • The volume of a figure is the measure of the amount of space that a figure encloses. • Volume is measured in cubic units.
Volumes of Prisms • If a prism has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and each base has an area of B square units, then V = Bh Remember, B = Area of Base. h
Example 1: Volume of a Triangular Prism Find the volume of the right triangular prism. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the base of the prism. 24 *Note: Remember, you can only use P.T. on Right Triangles! 15 20 a
Example 1: Volume of a Triangular Prism Using Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the base of the prism we get... a² + b² = c² Pythagorean Theorem a² + 15² = 24² 24 a² + 225 = 576 a² = 351 15 a = √351 20 a ≈ 18.7 a
Example 1: Volume of a Triangular Prism V = Bh Volume of a Prism 24 B = ½(18.7)(15) h = 20 So… V =½(18.7)(15)(20) 15 20 V = 2,805 cubic centimeters 18.7
Example 2: Volume of a Rectangular Prism Find the volume in feet of the rectangular prism. First, we must convert inches to feet. 10 ft 12 inches = 1 foot 12 in. 25 ft.
Example 2: Volume of a Rectangular Prism Now, we can find the volume in feet of the rectangular prism. 1 ft. x 10 ft. x 25 = 250 ft. 10 ft. 1 ft. 25 ft.
Volumes of Cylinders If a cylinder has a volume of V cubic units, a height of h units, and the bases have radii of r units, then V = Bh or V = πr²h h Area of Base =πr² r
Example 3: Volume of a Cylinder Find the volume of each cylinder. The height h is 9.4 meters, and the radius r is 1.6 meters. V = πr²h 9.4m = π(1.6²)(9.4) ≈ 75.6 meters 1.6m
Example 4: Volume of a Cylinder Find the volume of each cylinder. a² +b² = c² Pythagorean Theorem h² + 7² = 15² h² + 49 = 225 h² = 176 7 in. 15 in. h ≈ 13.3 The diameter of the base, the diagonal, and the lateral edge of the cylinder form a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.
Example 4: Volume of a Cylinder Find the volume of each cylinder. V = π(3.5²)(13.3) V = 511.8 7 in. 13.3 in. The volume is approximately 511.8 cubic inches.
Cavalieri’s Principle • If two solids have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume. • Which basically means, that whether it is right or oblique, it’s volume is V=Bh
Example 5: Volume of an Oblique Cylinder Find the volume of the oblique cylinder. 8 yd To find the volume, use the formula for a right cylinder. 13 yd V = πr²h = π(8²)(13) = 2,613.8 The volume is approximately 2,613.8 cubic yards.
