Volume
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Volume of a Cone | v = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h Volume = 1/3 x pi x radius squared x height |
Volume of a Cylinder | v = pi x r^2 x h Volume = pi x radius squared x height ex. can |
Volume of a Sphere | v = 4/3 pi x r^3 Volume = 4/3 x pi x radius cubed ex. ball |
Steps to Find the Volume | 1. Write the (correct) formula 2. Substitute in known values 3. Solve |
Volume of Sphere Example | v= 4/3(pi)r^3 v=4/3(3)^3(pi) v=36pi units cubed |
Volume units | Always cubed or to the 3rd power Ex. cm^3 |
What is the relationship between the volume of a cylinder and a cone? | cylinder = pi x r squared x h cone = 1/3 x pi x r squared x h The only difference in the formulas is the cone is 1/3, so the cone is 3 times smaller or the cylinder is 3 times bigger. |
