can you help me i can't find the answers
7B Math: Efficiency Expert Portfolio
Directions:
You will mathematically and experimentally show how 4 figures made from the SAME size paper will produce different volumes.
Take 4 sheets of paper (I used 8 ½ x 11 printer paper you will use 8x10 in) and create:
-A: tall rectangular prism
-B: short rectangular prism
-C: tall cylinder
-D: short cylinder
1. To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, use the formula V = l*w*h where l is length, w is width, and h is height.
2. For figure A, measure the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism and plug those values into the formula to find the volume.
3. Repeat step 2 for figure B and compare the volumes of figure A and B.
4. To calculate the volume of a cylinder, use the formula V = πr^2h where r is the radius and h is the height.
5. For figure C, measure the radius and height of the cylinder and plug those values into the formula to find the volume.
6. Repeat step 5 for figure D and compare the volumes of figure C and D.
7. Use your findings to show how 4 figures made from the same size paper can produce different volumes.
You're welcome! Let me know if you need any more help.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have.
thank you
ok i will
can you help with this one

Take 4 sheets of paper (I used 8 ½ x 11 printer paper you will use 8x10 in) and create:
-A: tall rectangular prism
-B: short rectangular prism
-C: tall cylinder
-D: short cylinder
Mathematically you will figure the dimensions of your shapes just using your paper dimensions versus a ruler.
A: B: C: D:
Volume of Prism: l x w x h
Volume of Cylinder: r x r x 3.14 x h
So we will use our paper dimensions to find the shape measurements needed to find the volume of each one.
A and B….the prisms are easy. We just take the dimension and divide it by 4 to find our measurement.
C and D ….the cylinders are a bit more tricky. We know the circumference of our circle tops and the heights of our cylinders but we need to find the radius of our circle top.
Circumference = diameter x 3.14
11 = d x 3.14
Divide both sides by 3.14 to find the diameter
11/3.14 = d
3.5 = d but in finding volume of cylinder we need the radius.
d/2 = r 3.5/2 = 1.75 in
You will provide the volume of each shape A,B,C and D using 8x10 in paper. USE PROPER UNITS FOR VOLUME. The 4 volumes with units is ALL YOU HAVE to provide. No pictures needed.
OPTIONAL: Now you can test your volumes by actually making these open ended paper shapes and filling them with rice or beans or some material to figure out which one holds the most. It is best to make your shapes out of a thicker paper but I understand if you don’t have thicker paper.
Here is what I need for full credit!
Paper dimensions ( length and width, you may use 8x10 inches) You may NOT use the 8 ½ x 11 inches I used.
Volumes (use correct unit) of tall prism A, short prism B, tall cylinder C and short cylinder D.
hint: in the example my paper is 8 ½ x 11 in our volume will be in³
The experiment portion (filling your open ended shapes with rice or beans to see which holds the most) is OPTIONAL but is a fun, hands on way to support your math.
