1 . The volume of cylinders can be found by using the formula. 1. Have students solve the problems to better
understand how to calculate the volume of a
Volume of cylinder = (area of base) (height) cylinder. Students can become comfortable
working with prisms and, by extension, other
Find the volume of each cylinder. three-dimensional figures.

a. b. 2. In the following problems, the area of the
base and the height are all given, so it’s a
12.56cm2 78.5ft2 simple matter of applying the formula.
Have students find the volume of each prism:
10cm 4ft Volume (area of base) (height).

12.56 10 = 125.6 (cm3) 78.5 4 = 314 (ft3)

2 . The volume of prisms can be found by using the volume of

rectangular prisms and cylinders.

Volume of prism = (area of base) (height)

Find the volume of each prism.

Remind students to be careful with the units when they calculate their answers. With three-dimensional
figures, the unit value is a cube. For example, in 1a, the answer should be expressed as
125.6 (cm3).
Tell students that they can use the same formula to find the volume of any three-dimensional figure, as long
as it has parallel sides and a top and base of the same shape: Volume (area of base) (height).
