Volume

We have studied ways to calculate the perimeter and the area of two-dimensional figures that lie in a plane, such as rectangles, triangles, and circles. Now we will consider three-dimensional figures that occupy space, such as rectangular solids, cylinders, and spheres. In this section, we will introduce the vocabulary associated with these figures as well as the formulas that are used to find their volume. Volumes are measured in cubic units, such as cubic feet, cubic yards, or cubic centimeters. For example,

We measure the capacity of a refrigerator in cubic feet.

We buy gravel or topsoil by the cubic yard.

We often measure amounts of medicine in cubic centimeters.

1 Find the volume of rectangular solids, prisms, and pyramids.

The volume of a three-dimensional figure is a measure of its capacity. The following illustration shows two common units of volume: cubic inches, written as in.3, and cubic centimeters, written as cm3.

1 cubic inch: 1 in.3

1 cubic centimeter: 1 cm3

1 in.

The volume of a figure can be thought of as the number of cubic units that will fit within its boundaries. If we divide the figure shown in black below into cubes, each cube represents a volume of 1 cm3. Because there are 2 levels with 12 cubes on each level, the volume of the prism is 24 cm3.

How many cubic centimeters are in 1 cubic meter?

Now Try Problem 25

EXAMPLE 1 How many cubic inches are there in 1 cubic foot?

Strategy A figure is helpful to solve this problem.We will draw a cube and divide each of its sides into 12 equally long parts.

WHY Since a cubic foot is a cube with each side measuring 1 foot, each side also measures 12 inches.

Solution The figure on the right helps us understand the situation. Note that each level of the cubic foot contains 12 12 cubic inches

and that the cubic foot has 12 levels. We can 1 ft 12 in. use multiplication to count the number of

cubic inches contained in the figure.There are

12 12 12 1,728

cubic inches in 1 cubic foot. Thus, 1 ft3 1,728 in.3.

EXAMPLE 2

In practice, we do not find volumes of three-dimensional figures by counting cubes. Instead, we use the formulas shown in the table on the preceding page. Note that several of the volume formulas involve the variable B. It represents the area of the base of the figure.

Caution! The height of a geometric solid is always measured along a line perpendicular to its base.

DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS

A polygon is a closed geometric figure with at least three line segments for its sides. The points at which the sides intersect are called vertices. A regular polygon has sides that are all the same length and angles that are all the same measure.

The number of vertices of a polygon is equal to the number of sides it has.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly two sides parallel.

The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called bases. The nonparallel sides are called legs.

If the legs (the nonparallel sides) of a trapezoid are of equal length, it is called an isosceles trapezoid.

In an isosceles trapezoid, both pairs of base angles are congruent.

The sum S, in degrees, of the measures of the angles of a polygon with n sides is given by the formula

S (n 2)180°

We can use the formula S (n 2)180° to find the number of sides a polygon has.

S E C T I O N 9.8 Circles

DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS

A circle is the set of all points in a plane that lie a fixed distance from a point called its center. The fixed distance is the circle’s radius.

A chord of a circle is a line segment connecting two points on the circle.

A diameter is a chord that passes through the circle’s center.

Any part of a circle is called an arc.

A semicircle is an arc of a circle whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter.

The circumference (perimeter) of a circle is given by the formulas

C pD or C 2pr

where p 3.14159 . . . .

If an exact answer contains p, we can use 3.14 as an approximation, and complete the calculations by hand. Or, we can use a calculator that has a pi key p to find an approximation.

C 2(8)p Rewrite the product so that P is the last factor.

C 16p Do the first multiplication: 2(8) 16. This is the exact answer.

The circumference of the circle is exactly 16p inches. If we replace p with 3.14, we get an approximation of the circumference.

C 16P

C 16(3.14) Substitute 3.14 for P.

C 50.24 Do the multiplication.

The circumference of the circle is approximately 50.2 inches.

We can also use a calculator to approximate 16p.
