Students will be able to:
Calculate the volume of various three-dimensional figures composed of prisms.
Solve problems involving the volume of three-dimensional figures.
The volume of a three-dimensional right prism is equal to the area of its base multiplied by its height.
FINDING VOLUME
You can use formulas to solve problems involving the volume of
three-dimensional figures.
V = Bh
You can use the formula V = Bh to find the volume or unknown dimension of
a solid figure.
COMPOSITE FIGURES
Find the volume of a composite figure by finding the sum of the volumes of
each solid figure.
DIAGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
1. An orange prism has its base labeled B and its height labeled h,
illustrating V = Bh.
2. A composite solid shows an orange rectangular prism topped by a green
prism, illustrating that the volumes of the parts can be added to find
the total volume.
