Calculating Areas and Volumes

The video tutorial from MooMooMath explains how to calculate the volume of prisms and cylinders. It begins with an introduction to the volume formula, which is the base area multiplied by the height. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the volume of a rectangular prism by identifying the base as a rectangle, calculating its area, and multiplying by the height. Next, it covers the volume of a triangular prism, using the formula for the area of a triangle. Finally, the video explains how to calculate the volume of a cylinder, using the formula for the area of a circle as the base. Each section provides step-by-step instructions and examples.

What is the general formula for calculating the volume of a prism or cylinder?

• Volume = base area + height

• Volume = base area - height

• Volume = base area x height

• Volume = base area / height

How do you determine the base area of a rectangular prism?

• Multiply the length by the width

• Multiply the length by the height

• Subtract the width from the length

• Add the length and the width
