3D Shapes - Volume Formulas
-
Prism: Volume calculated by multiplying length (l), width (w), and height (h). Formula: v = l × w × h, commonly used for rectangular prisms but applicable to any prism type.
-
Pyramid: Volume is one-third of the base area multiplied by height. Formula: v = 1/3 × l × w × h, showing how pyramids compress space as height increases relative to base.
-
Cylinder: Volume determined by the area of the circular base multiplied by the height. Formula: v = π × r² × h, where r is the radius, emphasizing the importance of circular geometry.
-
Cone: Similar to pyramids, their volume equals one-third of the base area times height. Formula: v = 1/3 × π × r² × h, highlighting the relationship between conic sections and circles.
-
Sphere: Volume representation of a perfectly round object. Formula: v = 4/3 × π × r³, illustrating how volume expands cubically with radius, demonstrating key spherical properties.
