 Lesson
Finding the Volume of
Cylinders, Pyramids,Cones and
1 Spheres

The volume of a solid figure (prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone, and

sphere) is the amount of space inside it. Volume is measured in cubic
units, which means it tells you how many cubes of a given size it takes to fill
the solid figure.

And now, let us get started!

Directions: Give the formula for the volume (V) of the following solid figures.

1. Cone - __________________________

2. Cylinder - __________________________

3. Pyramids - __________________________

4. Sphere - __________________________

5. Rectangular Prism - ______________________

Find the volume of pyramid

on the given picture on the right.

7
 In order to get the volume of the pyramid, we will learn about the
volume of solid figures and its formula.

The following are the formula of the volume of solid figures:

VOLUME OF A PYRAMID
The formula for the volume of pyramid is ⅓ the base area (B) times
the height (h).
V= x B x h or V= ( l x w x h)
VOLUME OF A CYLINDER
The formula for the volume (V) of a cylinder is the product of the
base area (B) and the height (h).
V= π x r² x h
VOLUME OF A CONE
The formula for the volume of a cone is ⅓ the base area (B) times
the height (h).
V= x B x h or V= x πr² x h
VOLUME OF A SPHERE
The formula for the volume of a sphere with radius (r) is 4/3 times
the cube of the radius.
V= x πr³

Since the given problem above is finding the volume of a pyramid, we

will use its formula.
Example 1:
Solution:
1
V= (l x w x h)
3
1
V= x 62 x 40 x 50
3
1
V= x 124 000
3

V= 41 333.3 m³
So, the volume of the pyramid is 41 333.3 m³.

8
Example 2: Find the volume of coffee in this mug at the right.
Solution:
V= π x r² x h
= 3.14 x 6² x 12
= 3.14 x 36 x 12
V = 1356.48 cm³
So, the volume of the mug is 1356.48 cm³.

Example 3: Find the volume of the cone

at the right.
Solution:
1
V= x πr² x h
3
1
= x 3.14 x 2² x 5
3
1
= x 3.14 x 4 x 5
3
1
= x 62.8
3

V= 20.93 cm³
So, the volume of this cone is 20.93 cm³.

Example 4: Find the volume of the sphere

at the right.
Solution:
4
V= x πr³
3
4
= x 3.14 x 50³
3
4
= x 3.14 x 125 000
3
4
= x 392 500
3
V = 523 333.33 m³
So, the volume of the sphere is 523 333.33 m³.
