Directions: Read and analyze the problem.

Emilio and Jose pitched a tent that has a

shape of a pyramid. The base of a tent is
a rectangle that is 2.5 meters wide and 2m
2.8 meters long. The tent is 2 meter high.
Answer the questions that follow.

a. How wide is the tent?

b. How long is it?
c. How high is the tent? 2.5m 2.8m
d. How would you get the volume of the pyramid tent?

What is It

Lesson 1 : Finding the Volume of Cylinders, Pyramids, Cones and Spheres

Volume of Cylinders
The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space inside the cylinder.
Finding the volume of a cylinder is similar to finding the volume of any other prism.

Volume of Cylinders

The volume (V) of a cylinder is the product of the

circular base area (B) and the height (h).
V= πr²h

Example 1: Find the volume of the mug at the right. 6cm

Solution:
V = πr²h
= (3.14) (6 cm)² (12 cm)
= (3.14) (36 cm) (12 cm) 12 cm
V =1356.48 cm³

4
Volume of Pyramids

The volume of a pyramid is the amount of space inside the pyramid. Volume is
measured in cubic units, which means how many cubes of given size it takes to fill the pyramid.
1
The volume of a pyramid is of the volume of a prism with the base area (B) and
3
height (h).

Example 2 : Find the volume of the pyramid at the right.

Solution:
1
V = lwh
3
1
= (62 m) (40 m) (50 m) 50 m
3
1
= (12 4000 m)
3
V = 41 333.33 m³ 62 m 40 m

Volume of Cones
1
The volume of cone is the volume of a cylinder with the same base area (B) and
3
height (h).

V cylinder = (B) (h)

1
V cone = ( B) (h) height
height 3
1
= (π) (r²) (h) =
3
(π) (r²) (h)

Base area (B)

Volume of Cones
1
The formula for the volume (V) of a cone is the base
3
area (B) times the height (h).
1 1
V= Bh or V = πr²h
3 3

Example 3 : Find the volume of the cone at the right.

Solution:
r = 2 cm
1
V = Bh
3
1
= 3 (πr²) (h) h = 5 cm
1
= 3 ( 3.14) (2 cm)² (5 cm)

5
 1
= 3 (3.14) (4 cm²) ( 5 cm)
1
= 3 (62.8 cm³)
V = 20.93 cm³
So, the volume of this cone is 20.93 cm³

Volume of Spheres

Volume is measured in cubic units. A circle on the sphere with the same center as the
sphere has an area of πr². Imagine this same circle as the base of a cylinder that exactly
contains the sphere.
r

h
h

The volume of this cylinder would be the area of its base times it’s height, which is
2
(πr²) (2r) or πr³. The sphere does not fill the whole cylinder. In fact, it’s volume is of the
3
volume of the cylinder.
4
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is (πr³)
3

Volume of Spheres
4
The volume of sphere with radius (r) is π times the
3
cube of the radius.
4
V= πr³
3

Example 4: Find the volume of the sphere at the right.

Solution:
4
V = πr³
3
4 50 m
= (3.14) (50 m) ³
3
4
= (3.14) (125 000 m³)
3
4
= (392 500 m³)
3
V = 523 333.33 m³
So, the volume of this sphere is 523 333.33 m³
