Volume of a Rectangular Prism

Find the Volume of a Rectangular Prism 20 June 2017

WALT - Find the volume of a Rectangular Prism

In this Math Activity we had to find the volume of a Rectangular Prism. This activity would give us a little animation that we had to watch to give us the answer to the question. The question we had to answer was “How many unit cubes did it take to form the bottom layer?”. The animation that we had to watch showed that it took nine unit cubes to fill in the bottom layer of a Rectangular Prism. I found this activity fun and interesting, but I wish there were more than one question for us to answer.

1. Radius   Height   Formula   Volume

   3            6         π2 h/3    56.57142857

Image	Radius	Height	Formula	Volume
	5	10	π2 h/3	261.9047619
	8	12	π2 h/3	804.5714286
	4	10	π2 h/3	167.6190476
	12	15	π2 h/3	2262.857143

During maths time we had to find the volume of a cone by using our own made calculator. Mr. Ramkolowan thought us how to make a calculator using Google Sheets, and it helped us figure out the answer for some of the questions. I found this activity interesting because we learnt a lot about maths and volume and we also made our own calculator.
