Learning
Objective/s
Determine the relationship of volume between
a rectangular prism and a pyramid; a
cylinder, and a cone; a cylinder and sphere
(M6ME-IVa-95)

Find the volume of cylinders, pyramids,

cones, and spheres (MGME-IVb-97); and

Solve routine and non-routine problems

involving volumes of solids (MGME-IVc-98).
 VOLUME
It is the amount of space inside a
solid figure. It is measured in cubic
units, which means it tells the number
of cubes in a given size it takes to fill
the solid figure.

RECTANGULAR PRISM AND
PYRAMID

The volume of a pyramid is one -third (1/3) of the

volume of rectangular prism with the same dimension.
 Relationship of Volume of

Claire makes models to show the relationship between
the volume of a rectangular prism and the volume of a
rectangular pyramid. The rectangular prism model has a
base area of 8 square inches and a height of 12 inches. She
also makes a rectangular pyramid with a base and height
congruent to the corresponding parts of the prism. Which
conclusion is INCORRECT about the relationship between
the volumes of the models?
 A. The volume of the rectangular prism is triple
the volume of the rectangular pyramid.
B. The volume of the rectangular pyramid is
one-third the volume of the rectangular prism.
C. The volume of the rectangular prism is
three times the volume of the rectangular
pyramid.
D. The volume of the rectangular pyramid is
three times the volume of the rectangular prism.
 Question #2
Dino has a cone-shaped container that he
fills with water. He pours the water into the
cylindrical shaped container. Both containers
have the same height and bases. Which of the
following statements is CORRECT after he
pours the water from the cone to the cylinder?
 A. The cylindrical shaped container is
completely filled with water.
B. Only three-fourths of the volume of
cylindrical container is filled with water.
C. One-third of the volume of the cylindrical
container is not filled with water.
D. Two-thirds of the volume of the cylindrical
container is not filled with water.
 Question #3
A spherical tank for natural gas
has a volume of about 1500 m³. How
will you compare its volume to a
cylindrical type of tank having the
same dimensions?
 A. The volume of the spherical tank is two-
thirds of the volume of the cylindrical tank.
B. The volume of the spherical tank is greater
than the volume of the cylindrical tank.
C. The volumes of the spherical and the
cylindrical tanks are the same.
D. The volume of the spherical tank is one-
third of the volume of the cylindrical tank.
 Question #4

rectangular prism is 15 m² and the
height measures 5 m. What is the
volume of the pyramid with the same
dimensions as the rectangular prism?
A. The volume of pyramid is 25 m³.
B. The volume of pyramid is 35 m³.
C. The volume of pyramid is 45 m³.

 READING AND
INTERPRETING ELECTRIC
AND WATER METER
 WHAT IS AN
ELECTRIC METER?
 ELECTRIC METER
An electric meter is a device
that measures the energy
transformed from electrical
sources to our devices at home.
An electric meter shows readings of
energy. The unit of energy reflected
in an electric meter is the kiloWatt-
hour (kW-h), a unit of measure that
reflects the product of power and
time giving the quantity, energy.
TYPES OF ELECTRIC METER

Digital Type - it indicates

kilowatt-hour (kWh) readings by
digital numbers

Dial Type - it is the most

commonly used electric meter.
Digital Type Dial Type
Notice that there are five dials and inside each
dial is a pointer which indicates the number to
be read. The pointers will alternately turn
clockwise and counter clockwise.
Note: Always read the dials from the
right to the left, starting from Dial E
to Dial A. Each dial will turn in the
opposite direction, so if your first
dial turns clockwise, the second dial
will turn anticlockwise.

 HOW TO READ A
DIGITAL ELECTRIC
METER?
On a digital meter you should record all the
digits shown on the display. It is not
important to include any zeros at the
beginning. In the example, the meter reading
is 9410.
 WHAT IS A
WATER METER?
 A water meter is a device that
measures the volume of water
delivered to a property. Some
water meters measure water in
gallons while others measure
volumes in cubic feet.
 READING WATER METER
The older style of water meter is with
small dials. It looks like a series of small
clocks that turns clockwise, see the
illustration that follows. The unit used for
this measurement is cubic meters (m³).
 The rules of reading a water meter
with dials are similar to the way an
electric meter is being read but with
the rightmost having the greatest place
value.
To read water meters:
1. Start reading from right to left (clockwise). Read the
number by the pointer of the dial. When the pointer is
between two numbers, the lower number is recorded.
2. If the pointer appears to be exactly on a number,
check the next lower dial to the right to find out the
correct reading. If the dial on the right has passed
zero, then use the smaller number on the dial you are
reading.
3. Record the numbers from right to left as illustrated
in the previous page.
 HOW TO COMPUTE
FOR ELECTRIC AND
WATER
CONSUMPTION?
To compute for electric and water
consumption, simply subtract the
previous reading from the present
reading to compute for water or
electric consumption for a
particular period of time.
