FINDING VOLUME Volume measures the amount a solid figure can hold. Volume is measured in terms of units³ and can be measured in inches, feet, meters, centimeters, and millimeters. • The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l · w · h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. • The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s³, where s is a side of the square. • The volume of a triangular prism is V = (1/2) · l · w · h . • The volume of a cylinder is V = π r² · h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Pi is usually 3.14. • The volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3) b² · h , where b is the side of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. • The volume of a cone is V = (1/3)π r² · h, where r is the radius and h is the height. • The volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)π r³, w here r is the radius and π is 3.14. • The figures of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres are all 3-D figures. The 3-D figures are made up of edges, faces and vertices. The edge is where two faces meet. The face is the side of the figure. The vertex is the point where the edges meet. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved. Permission is granted for the purchaser to print copies for non-commercial educational purposes only.

How to use finding volume The volume of 3-D figures can be determined by using the formula that corresponds to the figure. The volumes of all figures can be determined as long as the needed information is given. • For example, what is the volume of a cone with a radius of 6 cm and a height of 15 cm? Ex. Vcone = (1/3)π r² · h = (1/3)(3.14)(6²)(15) Vcone = (1/3)(3.14)(36)(15) = 565.2 cm³ If the volume of a figure is given, as well as the information needed to solve for volume except one value, the missing value can be found by substituting in all the given information and solving. • For example, if the volume of a sphere is 33.49 m, what is the radius of the sphere? Ex. Vsphere = (4/3)π r³ 33.49 = (4/3)(3.14)r³ 33.49 = 4.187r³ 4.187 4.187 7.999 = r³ r³ ≈ 8, r ≈ 2 because 2 · 2 · 2 =8 The radius of the sphere is approximately 2 m. A 3-D figure is made up of faces, edges and vertices. A rectangular prism has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved.
