Volume Graphs

What is the volume? Did you know volume relates to everything you do? From the food you buy in packages from the books you read, volume is in everything you do! As you read through the page you'll see ways you can find volume for cylinders and prisms!

                                           




What is the relationship between the volume of a cylinder and its radius?







What is the relationship between the volume of a prism and its base?

    The graphics you chose show clear steps to finding the volume. It was interesting to see the different ways you showed to find volume for cylinders and prisms. Overall, your examples and ideas are easy to follow. Another nice website for measuring volume of 3D figures is at http://www.shmoop.com/basic-geometry/volume-pyramids-cones.html
    A great post about how geometry can be useful.
