Unit 35: Measuring Volume

1. Volume refers to the space inside a three-dimensional object and is calculated using the object's base and height. The formula for volume is V=Bh, where B is the base and h is the height. 2. Examples of how to calculate the volume of different shapes are shown, including cubes, rectangular solids, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and multiple objects. Formulas for finding the volume of each shape are provided. 3. Volume calculations are worked through for sample objects like a cube with a base of 9 in^2 and height of 3 in, giving a volume of 27 cubic inches.

Unit 35 Measuring Volume

1. Volume
A. Volume refers to the space inside a three-dimensional object.
B. A flat surface, such as the top of a shoebox, does not have volume.
A shoebox does have volume.
C. The bottom of an object is called its base (8). Volume equals (Base)(height) or V = Bh
D. Important quantities: base (B), length ( I ), width (w), height (h), sides (s), and radius (r)
2. Examples:
Cube Rectangular Solid Pyramid

= 50.24(8) = i(78.5)(6)
V=V1+V2
= 401.92 cubic inches = 157 cubic inches = 452.16 + 100.48 = 552.64 cubic feet
