[Q4] RELATIONSHIPS OF VOLUMES OF GEOMETRIC SOLIDS (M6ME-IVa-95)
Topic: Relationships of Volume in Geometric Solids (M6ME-IVa-95)
1. Relationship between a Rectangular Prism and a
Pyramid:
- A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape
with six rectangular faces.
- Its volume (V) is given by the formula: V = length × width
× height.
- A pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a polygonal
base and triangular faces meeting at a common vertex.
- The volume of a pyramid (V) is calculated using the
formula: V = (1/3) × base area × height.
- In comparing the volumes of a rectangular prism and a
pyramid:
- If they have the
same base area and height, the rectangular prism will have three times the
volume of the pyramid.
- This is because
the rectangular prism fills up space more efficiently due to its shape.
2. Relationship between a Cylinder and a Cone:
- A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two
congruent circular bases and a curved surface.
- The volume of a cylinder (V) is given by the formula: V =
πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
- A cone is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base
and a curved surface tapering to a point (apex).
- The volume of a cone (V) is calculated using the formula:
V = (1/3) × πr²h.
- When comparing the volumes of a cylinder and a cone:
- If they have the
same base radius and height, the cylinder will have three times the volume of
the cone.
- This is because
the cylinder fills up space more efficiently due to its shape.
3. Relationship between a Cylinder and a Sphere:
- A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two
congruent circular bases and a curved surface.
- The volume of a cylinder (V) is given by the formula: V =
πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
- A sphere is a three-dimensional shape with all points
equidistant from a central point, forming a perfectly round shape.
- The volume of a sphere (V) is calculated using the
formula: V = (4/3) × πr³, where r is the radius.
- When comparing the volumes of a cylinder and a sphere:
- If they have the
same radius, the sphere will have a greater volume than the cylinder.
- This is because a sphere has more volume packed within its shape compared to a cylinder of the same radius.
