Volumes of prisms and cylinders geometry
In geometry, the volume of a prism or cylinder is the measure of the space inside the three-dimensional shape.
To find the volume of a prism, you need to multiply the area of the base by the height. For example, the volume of a rectangular prism can be found by multiplying the length, width, and height (V = lwh). The volume of a triangular prism is half the volume of a regular parallelepiped with the same base and height.
To find the volume of a cylinder, you need to multiply the area of the base (circle) by the height. For example, the volume of a cylindrical can be found by multiplying the radius squared by the height and then multiplying by pi (V = πr^2h).
Both prisms and cylinders are commonly used in real-life situations, such as in architecture, engineering, and manufacturing.
