Volumes of 3-d Figures

The document discusses how to calculate the volumes of various 3-D shapes including rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Formulas are provided for calculating each shape's volume using measurements of length, width, height, radius, and other linear dimensions. Examples are given applying the formulas to specific shapes with labeled dimensions to find their volumes in cubic units.

Volumes of 3-D Figures

by: Nick Sitts

Rectangular prism
V= length x width x height or V= l*w*h
l= 9in
w= 5in
h= 3in
multiply the three together (5*3*9) = 135 in^3

Triangular Prism
V= Area of the base x height or V= B*h
B= (8*3) = 12 cm^2
h= 12 cm
V= 12*12
V= 24 cm^3

Pyramid
V= *area of base*height or *B*h
B= l*w = 8*24 = 192 in^2
h= 10 in
V= *192*10
V= 640 in^3

Cone
V= *pi*radius^2*height or V= **r^2*h
r= 8 m
h= 15 m
V= **8^2*15
V= 1005.3 m^3

Cylinder
V= *radius^2*height or r^2*h
r= 8
h= 15
V= *8^2*15
V= 3015.9 cm^3

Sphere

(the format of the picture makes this look like an egg, but I assure you it is a sphere)

V= 4/3*radius^2 or 4/3r^2
r= 30 m
V= 4/3*30^2
V= 3769.9 m^3
