This document discusses the formulas for calculating the volume of prisms and cylinders. For prisms, volume is calculated as V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height measured perpendicular to the bases. For cylinders, volume is calculated as V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height. Examples of prisms and cylinders with measurements are provided to demonstrate how to apply the volume formulas.

Volume of a Prism:
V = Bh where B = area of the base and h = height of prism
**The "height" of the prism is always the perpendicular distance
between the 2 parallel bases.
Find the volume of the solid.
