14.5 Volume, Mass, and Temperature

Figure

RECALL: To find the surface area you count squares; NOW, to find volume you count cubes

S.A. → units are squares (i.e., square centimeters, square inches, …….)

V. → units are cubes (i.e., cubic centimeters, cubic inches,………..)

Volume of Right Rectangular Prisms

→ determine how many cubes are needed to build it (Figure)

Formula: V = lwh →→→ B = lw

Volume of a Cylinder

Formula: V = Bh →→→ B =

Example: Find the volume of each

Volume of Pyramids and Cones

Formula (Pyramid): V = 1/3 Bh

Formula (Cone): V = 1/3

Examples: Find the volume of each

Volume of a Sphere

Formula: V = 4/3

Example: Find the volume.
