Volume of a Pyramid
 Hello my dear pupils. How are you today?

Today we are going to learn about finding the volume of a pyramid.

Look at your roof. What is its shape?

Does it look like this?

The roof of your house is one example of a pyramid.

A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and the

lateral faces are triangles

What is a volume?

Volume is the amount of space inside the pyramid or any other

solid figures, and it is usually measured in cubic units or if how many
cubes of a given size takes it to fill the solid figure.

To find the volume of a pyramid, we need to follow this formula.

1 1
V= 3 .B.h or V= 3 (l.w.h) where V means volume
B means base
h means height
l means length
w means width
. means multiplication

To find the volume of a pyramid we need to get the area of its base
first B (length x width) then multiply to h (height). After that divide your
1
answer with denominator 3 of 3 . The final answer will be the volume of
a pyramid.
Are you ready to solve?
Let us have some examples.

Example 1. Find the volume of a pyramid at the right.

 Solution:
1
V= 3 (l.w.h)
1
= 3 (4 m x 5 m x 2 m) ↑
2m
1
= 3 x 80 m3 ↓
4m 5m
80
= 3 m3

V= 26.66 m3

So, the volume of a pyramid is 26.66 m3

Example 2. Find the volume of this pyramid.

1
V= 3 (l.w.h)

1
= 3 (10 in x 8 in x 6 in)

1
= 3 (480 in3) 6 in 10 in 8 in

576
= 3 in3

V=160 in3
Therefore, the amount of space or the volume of this pyramid is 160 in3.
Example 3. Find the volume of pyramid at the right side.
Solution:
1
V= 3 (l.w.h) 4 cm

1
= 3 (2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm) 2 cm

1
= 3 (48 cm3) 3 cm

48
= 3 cm3
 V= 16 cm3

 Volume of Cylinder
Our next topic is about finding the volume of a cylinder.
Who among you have seen this?

Can you give objects or products that have the same shape with
this?
This solid figure is a cylinder. Some examples of cylinders are
mug, can of sardines or pipe.
Cylinders has two circular bases that are congruent and parallel.
The volume of a cylinder is the total space inside the cylinder.
In finding the volume of a cylinder we need to get the product of
the circular base (B) and the height (h).
Since the B or base of a cylinder is circular, we will use the formula
for finding the area of a circle which is B= πr2 . After that multiply it to its
height (h)

FORMULA:
V= π. r2 .h where V is stands for volume
π pi with equivalent value of 3.14
r for radius
h for height
2
means multiply the r to itself two times
Example 1. Find the volume of this triangle.
Solution:
 V= π.r2.h 4cm ↑
=3.14 x 42cm x 10 cm 10 cm
=3.14 x 16 cm2 x 10 cm ↓
V= 1 356.48 cm3
Therefore, the volume of the mug is 1 356.48 cm3
Example 2. Find the volume of the cylinder at the right side.
Solution:
V= π.r2 .h
=3.14 x 52 ft x 8 ft 5 ft
= 3.14 x 5 ft x 5 ft x 8 ft
=3.14 x 25 ft2 x 8 ft
V= 628 ft3 8 ft

Let us enhanced our skills by solving the exercise activity bellow.

Volume of a Cone

Who among you have eaten an ice cream in a cone?

How much ice cream do you think is needed to fill this cone?
Let us define first what is a cone?
Cone has one circular base.
1
The volume of a cone is 3 of the base area (B) times the height (h)
where B is equivalent for πr2. We use the formula bellow to find the
volume of a cone.
FORMULA:
1 1
V= 3 . πr2.h or V= 3 .B .h where V= volume

π= 3.14
r= radius
Take a look at the example bellow. h=height
Example 1. Find the volume of this cone.
1
V= 3 . πr2.h 3 cm

1
= 3 x 3.14 x 32 cm x 5 cm 5 cm

V= 141.3 cm3

Example 2.
1
V= 3 . πr2.h

1
= 3 x 3.14 x 22 in x 4 in 4 in
 1
V= 3 x 3.14 x 4 in2 x 4 in 2 in

V= 50.24 in3

Volume of a Sphere

Who among you wants to play basketball?

The ball that we use in playing basketball is an example of a
sphere.
Now let put air inside this ball, how much air do you think can fill
inside it? The amount of air that can occupy inside the ball is called
volume.
What is a sphere?
Sphere is a curved surface of points that are all of the same
distance from the center
To find the volume of a sphere we use this formula:
4
V= 3 . πr3
3
where V= volume , π = pi (3.14), r=radius and the means
multiply the r to itself 3 times (r x r x r )
Try to follow the example bellow.
Example 1. Find the volume of this sphere.
4
V= 3 . πr3

4
= 3 x 3.14 x 33

4
= 3 x 3.14 x 27 3 in
