Volume Three-Dimensional Objects of
Volume Cubic units of measure  is used when measuring the  volume ( V ).  The total number of cubic units it takes to completely fill the space occupied by an object is the  volume  of that object.
Rectangular Prism The volume formula for a rectangular prism is: Volume = length x width x height or V = lwh W   H L
Rectangular Prism Find the volume where: Length = 4ft Width = 3 ft Height = 2 ft W H L V = lwh = 4ft x 3ft x 2ft = (4x3) x ( 2 )  = 12 x 2 = (12 x 2) =
Cubes Find the volume for a cube where  s = 3 cm V = s ³   = =  3cm x 3cm x 3cm =
Cylinder The  volume formula for a cylinder is: Volume =  x radius x radius x height
Cylinder Find the volume of this cylinder: = 60 cubic meters 2 m 5 m r = 2 m h = 5 m
Cone The  volume formula for a cone is: Volume = ⅓( π  x radius x radius x height) V = ⅓( π  x r² x h)
Cone Find the volume of this cone: V= ⅓( π r²h) =⅓(3.14 x 3² x 5) =⅓(3.14 x 9 x 5) =⅓(3.14 x 45) =⅓(141.3) =47.1in³ 3 in 5 in
Rectangular Pyramid  The  formula for volume of a rectangular pyramid  is: V =  ⅓ (length x width x height) V =  ⅓ (lwh)
Rectangular Pyramid Find the volume of this rectangular pyramid: V= ⅓(lwh) =⅓(3 x 2 x 5) =⅓(6 x 5) =⅓(30) =10cm³ 3 cm 2 cm 5 cm
