Eighth Grade

Lesson 12-5. #2-20 ALL. Volume of prisms and cylinders. Remember the formula: Area of the base times the height. First, find the area of the base of the shape. For triangular prisms, the base is one of the triangle ends. Remember to find the area of a triangle, you have to multiply the base x height and divide by 2. (that's the base and height of the triangle only, not the whole prism)

For cylinders, the base is the circle. To find the area of the circle, multiply pi times the radius squared, then multiply by the height.
