13-1 Volume of Prisms &

Cylinders

13-2 Volume of Pyramids &

Cones
• VOLUME: The amount of 3-dimensional
space that is taken up by something.
 • Volume is generally the
(AREA OF THE BASE) • (HEIGHT)
(Height)

(Width)
(Length)
 Cylinder: SAME THING!
Volume of Cylinder:
(Area of Base) • (Height)

Volume: (πr2)• (h)

 Obliques

STICK WITH THE FORMULA!

(Remember: Height is always
perpendicular to the Base!)
VOLUME OF CONES
AND PYRAMIDS
The Volume of a PYRAMID is
(1/3) that of a PRISM !
Volume of Pyramid =
(area of base)(h)(1/3)
 Same thing for Cone:
Volume of Cone = (1/3) Volume of Cylinder

= (πr2)(h)(1/3)
• Remember: the HEIGHT is the
measurement that is PERPENDICULAR
to the base!
