Math New Unit --- Volume

We are learning about Volume now!!!
To get ready to work out those formulas, click on the Youtube video below.




The Volume Video... That voice who is narrating sounds just like Michael Jackson
This movie teaches students how to find the volume of a solid figure. Learn how to solve and find the volume of a 3D shape using length times width times height. Includes the volume song.









*Try not to laugh too much at the way the narrator says "box" (or "baux")

Volume of a Cube Formulas and images on:

cube = a 3 *** In  a cube all the sides are the same length.

Which is the same as Volume = side x side x side
or V = length x width x height* Remember all the sides are the same units.


rectangular prism V = l x w x h 
V = B x h  ( if the base is calculated for you)   or    V= l x w x h

right triangle prism   
V = (base of triangle x height of triangle divided by 2) x height of prism
or V = (b x h  / 2 ) x H



irregular prism = b x h
*** Calculate the area of the Base





cylinder = b h = pi r 2 h
V = (pi  x  r 2) x h    *"pi" is a sign that I can't type on here.
                              * pi = 3.14   
                             * the small 2 means square the number or multiply the number by itself ex: 2 squared is 2 x 2 = 4.
