Geometry/Determining the relationship of the volume between prism

and pyramid and other 3D figures

A. Background Information for Learners

Hi pupils! I know you are very excited because it is the first lesson of the fourth
quarter.
In this lesson you will be able to know the relationship between the volumes of a prism
to a pyramid.
To start this lesson, look at the figures below.

How many cubic units are there in one layer?

How many layers fill the figure?

In the figures above, it has 24 cubic units in one layer and it has 8 layers. If you are
going to count the total number of cubic units in the figure it has 192 cubic units which
represent the volume of this figure. If you can still remember that volume of rectangular
prism is the product of its length, width and height.
According to the book 21st Century Mathletes 2016, volume of a prism is the
amount of space inside it and it is measured in cubic units, which means it tells you how
many cubes of a given size it takes to fill the prism.
What if we are to get the volume of a pyramid where in the dimensions of the
base and its height is the same as the given rectangular prism?
Will you be able to determine the number of cubic units inside the pyramid?

B. Learning Competency with Code

Determines the relationship of the volume between

a. a rectangular prism and a pyramid;
b. a cylinder and a cone; and
c. a cylinder and sphere.

4. The volume of the sphere is 67.5𝑚3, find the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height.

5. The volume of the pyramid is 45.5𝑚3, find the volume of a prism with same base and height.

Learning Task 2: Using cardboard or a folder create a rectangular prism and pyramid
given that their dimensions are the same. Using these solid figures prove that it takes
three pyramids to fill in a prism with the same base and height. Then complete the
statement below:

Finding the Volume of Solid Figures and Solving Routine and Non-
Routine Problems Involving Volumes of Solids/Measurement

A. Background Information for Learners

Hello! In this lesson, we will study and learn about the volume of solid figures and
solve routine and non-routine problems involving volumes of solids. We will derive
formulas to calculate for the volume in cubic units.
Let us try to build a connection and derive a formula between the volume of
these matching solids (same radius and same height). Suppose that we will try to fill
these solid figures with water or sand.
TRIVIA: Do you know that it takes three cones to fill the cylinder with sand or water?
(Fig.1)

TRIVIA: The space a sphere takes is 2/3 of the volume of the cylinder. (Fig.2)
TRIVIA: It takes exactly 3 full pyramids to fill the prism. (Fig.3)

What mathematical formula can you derive for the volume of a cone?
Note: Volume of a cylinder is three times the volume of the cone or the volume of a
cone is 1/3 that of the cylinder.
What is the formula to be used to find the volume of a cylinder?

Example 1 VOLUME OF A CONE

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times. Please include this in All Learning Activity 5
Sheets.
A cone hat has a diameter of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm, what is its volume?
What is being asked? The volume of the cone.
What are the given facts? d= 5 cm h= 10 cm
What is the operation to be used? Formula for the volume of a cone.
V= 1/3 Bh or 1/3 𝜋𝑟2

Example 2 VOLUME OF A CYLINDER

Bobby is molding a cylindrical candle with a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 18 cm.

How much wax does he need to mold the candle? What is the shape of the candle?
Cylinder
How are you going to solve the problem? Find the volume of the cylindrical candle.
What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder? 𝑉=𝜋𝑟2h
Write your solution and answer.
𝑉=𝜋𝑟2h
V= (3.14) (6)² (18 cm)
V= 3.14x 36 x 18 cm d=12 cm
V= 113.04 x 18 h= 18 cm
V= 2034.72 cm ³
Bobby needs 2034.72 cm ³ of wax to mold the candle.

Example 3 VOLUME OF A PYRAMID

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:

In a tiangge /bazaar Joshua bought a square pyramid glass

keychain for his bag. The base of the keychain is 3 cm by 4.5 cm,
its height is 6 cm. Find the volume of the glass used to make the glass pyramid.
What is being asked? The volume of the glass pyramid keychain.
What is the shape of the base? rectangle
What are the given facts? 3 in by 4.5 in h=6 in
What is the operation to be used? Formula for the volume of pyramid

Example 4 VOLUME OF SPHERE

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times. Please include this in All Learning Activity 6
Sheets.
Jackie wants to know how much water a sphere can hold with a radius of 8 cm. Find the
volume. Use 3.14 for pi. What is being asked? The volume of the water the sphere can
hold.
What are the given facts? r=8 cm
What is the operation to be used? Use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
V=4/3 x r³
Write the number sentence and your final answer with its correct label.
V=4/3 x r³=N
V=4/3 x 3.14 x 8³
V= 4/3 x 3.14 x 512 r=8cm
V=4/3 x 1,607.68
V=2,143.57 cm³ The volume of the water the sphere can hold is 2,143.57 cm³

REMEMBER: The volume of a solid figure is the amount of space inside it. Volume is
measured in cubic units (m³, cm³, dm³etc) which means the total number of cubes it
takes to fill a solid figure.
