Volume of a cylinder is easy: Vol= [(pi) x radius^2] x height of cylinder] Where Pi= 3.1416 approx and radius = 1/2 of cylinder diameter The volume of a prism is complicated because it depends on the type of prism. for a regular shape prism the formula is : Vol = (area of base) x height If the prism is a "union" of differents shapes, you have to split the prism in smaller/single/easy shapes and calculate the volumes individually and then add the resulting volumes

What is the general formula for finding the volume of a prism or cylinder?
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
How is the cylinder and rectangular prism alike?
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
Why is the radius squared when finding the volume of the cylinder?
because when you find the volume of a rectangular prism you basically get the area of the base and multiply it by its height and for the cylinder the area of its base = pi(r^2) which you then multiply by its height to give you its volume no way in hell am i explaing to you the calculus and limit stand point of this >_>; sorry
How do you find the volume of a hexagonal prism?
Volume = Area of base x height
How do you find volume of a triangular prism?
volume=1/2*length*width*height.
What is the height of a cylinder with a base area of 15 cm squared and a volume of 150cm cubed?
To find the base area of any prism, including the circular prism called cylinder, divide the volume by the height.
What are the similarutues and differences in the methods for finding the volume of a cylinder a rectangular and a non rectangular prism?
Volume of a prism and a cylinder= cross-section area*height or length
What is the general formula for finding the volume of a prism or cylinder?
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
Is a cylinder not a prism and why?
A cylinder is not a prism because it has a circular base and therefore requires a different formula to figure out its volume, surface area, etc.
What are the some similarities of a prism and cylinder?
Formula for the volume of both a Prism and a Cylinder is V = Bh (where B = area of the base, and h = height)
How do you find the volume of a rectangluar prism?
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
How are the volumes of right pyramid and right cone related to the volume of a right prism and right cylinder?
The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
How do you find the volume of a triangluar prism?
To find the volume of a triangular prism u have to find the length, width, and height of the prism and then u multiply all of it together
How is the cylinder and rectangular prism alike?
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
What kind of prism has the biggest volume if they have the same surface area?
A cylinder.
Do you have to multiply all the numbers to find the volume of a prism?
No, that will not give you the volume of a prism (since it's a triangular shape, not cuboid). For volume of a prism, you need to find the area of one of the end triangles, then multiply by the length of the prism.
How do you find the volume of a hexogonal prism?
Find the area of one end of the prism, then multiply it by the length of the prism.
