FINDING THE SURFACE

AREA AND VOLUME OF


SOLID FIGURES
THREE-DIMENSIONAL FIGURE

🞤A solid, that has length, width, and


depth
VOLUME is the amount
of liquid or solid that will
FILL a 3-Dimensional
object!
VOLUME
*Always measured in units cubed (u3)
Measuring Volume.

Volume is measured in cubic centimetres (also called


centimetre cubed).
Here is a cubic centimetre

It is a cube which
1cm measures 1cm in all
1cm directions.
1cm

We will now see how to calculate the volume of various shapes.


A RECTANGULAR PRISM, is a solid figure that
has six faces that are all rectangles. Opposite
faces are congruent and parallel.
VOLUME OF RECTANGULAR PRISMS

🞭 The formula to find the volume of a


rectangular prism is V = lwh.

🞭 Take the length (l) of the rectangular prism and


multiply it by the width (w) and then by the
height (h).

🞭 Your answer will always be units cubed.


EXAMPL
E
🞭 To find the volume of the
rectangular prism use the
formula V =lwh.

🞭 You multiply 8 x 8 x 12.

🞭Your final answer is 768 feet


cubed.

VOLUME OF TRIANGULAR PRISMS

To find the volume of a triangular


prism you use the formula:
EXAMPLE
To find the volume of the triangular prism you
the formula V = (1/2)bwh.

V = (1/2)bwh

V = (1/2) (6) (12) (4)

V = (1/2) (288)

V = 144 inches
cubed
VOLUME OF A PYRAMID

To find the volume of a pyramid you use the


following formula:
EXAMPLE
🞭 To find the volume of a pyramid you use the formula:
(1/3)Bh.
🞭 The "B" stands for the area of the base.
🞭 The pyramid gives us the area of the base and the
height.
🞭 To find the volume of the pyramid we need to:
V = (1/3) (56) (32)

Multiply 56 and 32.

Then divide by 3.

V= 597.3 mm cubed
VOLUME OF A CONE

To find the volume of a cone, use the following


formula.
EXAMPLE
To find the volume of the cone we will use the formula
V = (1/3)Bh
V = (1/3) (3.14) (r x r) (h)
V = (1/3) (3.14) (6) (6) (10)
V = (1/3) (3.14) (360)
V = (1/3) (1130.4)
V = 376.8 ft cubed

VOLUME OF A CYLINDER

To find the volume of a cylinder you will use the


formula:
EXAMPLE
To find the volume of the cylinder we need to
use the formula
V= Bh.

The area of the base of a cylinder is a


circle.
Use 3.14 x the radius squared x the
height.
V = (3.14) (4 x 4) (10)
V = 502.4 ft cubed
