Volume
Notes
Volume of Objects
Volume: the amount of 3d space an object occupies
(measured in cubic units)
The rectangular prism has a volume of 18 cubic units
because it is made up of 18 unit cubes
To find the volume of rectangular prisms, multiply the
length by the width by the height
Volume (Rectangular Prism) = length x width x height
What is the area of the shape below?
A= 38
3 feet A = 24 ft2
8 feet
What is the volume of the shape below?
V= 384

Total Volume:
V(1)= 176 V(2)= 347 42 cm3 + 84 cm3
V(1) =42 cm3 V(2) =84 cm3 126 cm3
Practice
Find the volume of the rectangular prism:
V= 249
V =72 cm3
Volume of Prisms
Prism: a 3-D shape that has two bases, named after the
shape of its base, and sides that are parallelograms
(ex: rectangular prism, triangular prism, hexagonal prism,
pentagonal prism)
To find the volume of all prisms, multiply the area of the
base by the height
Volume (prisms) = Base(Area of Base) x height
Volume = Bh
Triangular Prisms
What is the area of the shape below?
A= ½(4)(4)
4 cm A = 8 cm2
4 cm
What is the volume of the shape below?
V= ½(4)(4)(6)
V =48 cm3
Practice
Find the volume of the triangular prism:
Area(triangle) = ½bh
A= ½(3)(5) V= (7.5)(7)
A =7.5 yds2 V =52.5 yds3
Practice
Find the volume of the trapezoidal prism:
Area(trapezoid)= ½(b1 + b2)(h)
A= ½(6 + 5)(4) V= (22)(9)
A =22 cm2 V =198 cm3
Practice
Find the volume of the triangular prism:
A= ½(10)(10) V= (50)(13)
A =50 in2 V =650 in3
Volume of Cylinders
To find the volume of a cylinder, find the area of one of
the bases, and multiply by the height
Area = πr2
Volume = Bh
Or
Volume = (πr2)h
Volume of Parallelograms
To find the volume of a prism with parallelogram bases,
find the area of one of the bases, and multiply by the
height
Volume = Bh
Cylinders
What is the area of the shape below?
A= π(3) 2
3 ft. A = 9π ft2
What is the volume of the shape below?
V= (9π)(5)
V =45π ft3
3 ft.
