Standard: 8.G.9 - Volume of Cylinders, Cones, Spheres
Description: Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. Vocabulary: Volume - The amount of space an object takes up. Cone - A solid (3-dimensional) object with a circular flat base joined to a curved side that ends in an apex point. cone = (1/3) b h = 1/3 pi r^2 h Cylinder - A solid object with: • two identical flat ends that are circular • and one curved side. cylinder = b h = pi r^2 h Sphere - A 3-dimensional object shaped like a ball. Every point on the surface is the same distance from the center. sphere = (4/3) pi r^3 |
