Finding the Volume of Cylinders,

The document explains how to find the volume of various geometric shapes including rectangular pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres, providing formulas and examples for each. The volume of a rectangular pyramid is calculated as one-third the product of the base area and height, while the volume of a cylinder is found using the area of the base multiplied by height. Additionally, it outlines the volume formulas for cones and spheres, along with practical problems for readers to solve.

Finding the Volume of

Cylinders,
Pyramids, Cones, and
Spheres
A. Finding the Volume of a rectangular pyramid

A rectangular pyramid has one base


and its other faces are triangles.

The volume (V) of any rectangular


pyramid is one-third the product of the
area of its base (B) and the height (h).
Example: Find the volume of the pyramid below.
The base is a rectangle. Multiply the length and
the width of the rectangle to find the area of its
base. Multiply the area of the base by the height
and 1/3.
B. Finding the Volume of a Cylinder
A cylinder has two circular bases that are congruent
and parallel. The formula for the volume of a
cylinder is given by the following equation:

Volume of a Cylinder (V) = Area of the base x height


V = (πr2)h = πr2h
Example: The diameter of a cylinder is 12
m and its height is 5 m.

Find the volume of the cylinder.


C. Finding the Volume of a Cone
A cone is a closed figure with a circular base and a
singe vertex. The formula relationship for the volume
of a cylinder and a cone are similar to those for a
prism
and pyramid. The base of a cylinder or a cone is a
circle, so use πr2 for the area of the base, B, in the
formula.

The formula for finding the volume of a cone is given


by the following equation:

Volume of a Cone (V) = 1/3 x Area of the circular base


Example: Find the volume of a cone with
radius 9 dm and height 21 dm.
D. Finding the Volume of a sphere
A sphere is the set of all points in space that are the same
distance from a given point called center. The volume of a
sphere with radius r is 2/3 of the volume of a cylinder with
radius r and height 2r.
Example: Find the volume of the sphere
with diameter of 12 m shown below.

Pyramids, Cones, and
Spheres
Directions: Read and analyze. Show your solution in
your notebook.
1. A cylindrical pencil holder has a diameter of 8 cm
and 12 cm high. What is its volume?

2. A spherical tank for water has a radius of 6 meters.
