Formula Discussion: Use the formulas on the GED formula sheet. Write the formulas for each figure. Label the variables for each formula. Describe “B”, using the help of a net, for each formula. Describe “h” in the rectangular and triangular prism formulas, using the help of a net. Fill in the chart: Figure Volume Name each A net of the figure may be helpful in Formula variable describing some of the pieces of the formula Rectangular V= V= Prism B= h= Right Prism V= V= B= h= Pyramid V= V= B= h= How are area and volume similar? How are they different? Why is the height necessary when calculating the volume of an object?
