About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 8.22:                   

 

Assignment 8.22 is an introduction to volume of prisms including rectangular solids and cubes.

 

Prerequisite Skills:  Find volumes by counting cubes (Assignment 8.21).  Find areas of triangles (Assignment 8.6).  Find areas of regular polygons (Assignment 8.9).

 

Theorems:   The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is: V = lwh  (V is Volume;  l, w, and h are the length, width, height)             

                

                                                                                                                                                                    3

                           The formula for the volume of a cube is:  S = e      (V is Volume;  e is the length of an edge of the cube) ​​​​​​​​​

 

 

                   The formula for the volume of a prism is: V = BH (V is Volume; B is the area of a base; H is the height)
