2. What is volume?
The Tule Mat Lodge was typical structure used as a shelter
or house by many tribes of the Plateau cultural group.
These homes were usually occupied from mid-October to
mid-March. A mat house was built roughly in the shape of
triangular prism.

Volume is the amount of space in a solid figure. It is

measured in cubic units, such as cubic centimeter (cm ),
3

cubic meter (m ), and cubic millimeter (mm ).

Example 1: Find the volume of a Tule Mat Lodge describe above.

The volume of a prism is computed by the formula:

Volume = area of base x height, or V=Bh

The volume of a triangular prism is equal to the area of the base ( A = (1/2)
bh) times the height of the triangular prism.
(V= (1/2)ba)xh

Let’s try it!

Solve the following problem:

1. The side of the base of a square pyramid is 5 yrd.. What is

the volume of the square pyramid if its height is 6 yrds?
Find the volume of the given rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the area of the

base times the height. The area of the base is found by
multiplying the length and the width. That is,

5 cm

m
4 cm 6c
Solution:
V = area of the base x height

V = Bh
= (l x w) x h
=lxwxh
=6x5x4
V= 120 cubic centimeter or 120 cu. Cm

Therefore: the volume of the rectangular prism is 120 cubic cm.

Find the volume of each rectangular prism.

1. 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?

V = r2h

Given: r = 10 m; h= 21 m

Solution:
V = r2h
= 3.14 x 102 x 21
= 3.14 x 100 x 21
V = 6 594 cu. m
Thus; the volume of the can of milk is 6 594 cu. m

Solution:
V = 4/3 r3, with d = 10m, then r = 5

= 4/3 (3.14) (5)3

V = 523.33 cu. m

Relationship between the volume of the Cylinder and Cone.

1. Exploring the Volume of a Sphere Fill a cylinder with water. Push a sphere
with the same radius into the cylinder. Notice that about 2/3 of the water will be
displaced. So the volume of the sphere is 2/3 of the volume of the cylinder.

The volume of the cylinder would be the area of its base times its height, which
is (𝜋𝑟2)(2𝑟)𝑜𝑟 2𝜋𝑟3 . The sphere does not fill the whole cylinder. In fact, the
volume of the sphere is 2 3 of the volume of the cylinder: 2/3 (2𝜋𝑟 3).
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is V = 4 /3 𝜋
