Notes:

In this lesson, we will learn:

Analyze the Change in Volume of a Prism

Evaluate the Cross Sections of Prisms

Cross Section of a Pyramid

Prisms: solid objects with two identical and parallel ends connected by flat sides.

Volume of a prism: $base \, area \times height$

Cross section: a section made by cutting an object along a plane.

All cross sections of a prism are the same.

a)

Volume of a prism

b)

Cross section

1.

Analyze the Change in Volume of a Prism Vincent bought a new rectangular fish tank with a base measurement of 52cm by 37cm and filled it with water to a height of 18cm. After that he poured in some gravel and the water level rose by 13cm. What is the volume of the gravel?

2.

A rectangular swimming pool with a base measurement of 10m by 6m was filled up with water to the 5m mark. If a truck with a volume of 15m3m^{3}m3 accidentally fell into the pool, what will the new water level be?
