What is the general formula for finding the volume of a prism or cylinder?
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
How is the cylinder and rectangular prism alike?
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
What are the similarutues and differences in the methods for finding the volume of a cylinder a rectangular and a non rectangular prism?
Volume of a prism and a cylinder= cross-section area*height or length
How do you find the volume of a rectangluar prism?
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
Is a cylinder not a prism and why?
A cylinder is not a prism because it has a circular base and therefore requires a different formula to figure out its volume, surface area, etc.
What are the some similarities of a prism and cylinder?
Formula for the volume of both a Prism and a Cylinder is V = Bh (where B = area of the base, and h = height)
How are the volumes of right pyramid and right cone related to the volume of a right prism and right cylinder?
The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
How do you find the volume of a prism and a cylinder?
Volume of a cylinder is easy: Vol= [(pi) x radius^2] x height of cylinder] Where Pi= 3.1416 approx and radius = 1/2 of cylinder diameter The volume of a prism is complicated because it depends on the type of prism. for a regular shape prism the formula is : Vol = (area of base) x height If the prism is a "union" of differents shapes, you have to split the prism in smaller/single/easy shapes and calculate the volumes individually and then add the resulting volumes
What kind of prism has the biggest volume if they have the same surface area?
A cylinder.
What is the formula in finding the volume of rectangular prism?
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
What is the height of a cylinder with a base area of 15 cm squared and a volume of 150cm cubed?
To find the base area of any prism, including the circular prism called cylinder, divide the volume by the height.
What is the volume of the prism describe how you found the volume?
To find the volume of a prism you first need to know the area of cross section. Then, Volume of prism = area of cross section x length.
