Volume of Prisms and Cylinders (Day 1)

  • Volume: The space that a three-dimensional figure occupies. Measured in cubic units.
  • Cavalieri’s Principle: If two 3-D figures have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume.
  • The volume of a prism or cylinder is the product of the base area and the height: V = Bh

Volume of Pyramids and Cones (Day 2)

  • The volume of a pyramid is one-third the product of the area of the base and the height of the pyramid: V = \frac{1}{3}Bh
  • Cavalieri’s Principle applies to pyramids, including oblique pyramids.
  • The volume of a cone is one-third the product of the area of the base and the height of the cone: V = \frac{1}{3}Bh or V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
  • This formula applies to all cones, including oblique cones.

Volumes of Solids Formed by Rotation (Day 4)

  • Rotating a region around an axis creates a solid of revolution. The volume can be determined based on the shape and axis of rotation (refer to the tables for specific formulas based on the graph of the region).

Surface Area and Volume of Spheres (Day 6)

  • Sphere: The set of all points in space equidistant from a given point called the center.
  • Radius: A segment that has one endpoint at the center and the other endpoint on the sphere.
  • Diameter: A segment passing through the center with endpoints on the sphere.
  • When a plane and a sphere intersect in more than one point, the intersection is a circle.
  • Great Circle: If the center of the circle is also the center of the sphere.
  • The circumference of a great circle is the circumference of the sphere.
  • A great circle divides a sphere into two hemispheres.
  • Surface Area of a Sphere: S = 4\pi r^2
  • Volume of a Sphere: V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Area and Volume of Similar Solids (Dimensional Change) (Day 7)

  • Solids that have the same shape but different sizes are said to be similar.

  • Similarity can be determined by comparing the ratios of corresponding linear measurements.

  • Relationships between ratios of similar solids:

    • If the dimensions of a figure are multiplied by k, the surface area will be k^2 times larger, and the volume will be k^3 times larger.

Test Review (Day 8)

  • Comprehensive review covering volumes of various 3D shapes and their surface areas, including composite figures and solids of revolution, as well as practical problems involving rates and dimensional changes.
