Finding Volume of Cylinders, Cones, and Rectangular Prisms

• Pyramids
• Spheres
• Prisms
• Cylinders

Which formula can be used to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

• length x width

• length x width x height

• height x length

• length + width + height

Which label would NOT be appropriate for volume.

• square miles

• inches³

• cm³

• cubic feet

What is this formula used to find?
V=πr²h

• The volume of a cylinder

• The volume of a cone

• The volume of a sphere

• The area of a circle

The units for Volume are always 

• squared (to the 2nd power)

• cubed (to the 3rd power)

• quad (to the 4th power)

• pent (to the 5th power)

How does the volume of a pyramid compare to the volume of a prism?

• The formulas for these two shapes are nothing alike.

• These shapes are two dimension and we can not measure volume of two dimensional shapes.

• The volume formulas are the same so they will always hold the same amount if they have the same base and the same height.

• The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the prism. If they were the same height and had the same base, the volume of the prism is three times (it would take three of whatever is in the cone to fill up the cylinder) more than the volume of the pyramid.

Find the volume to the nearest whole number using 3.14 instead of Pi.
