Here are some volume formulas:
A farmer wants to know the sizes of the inside of her barn and silo. Here is the information she has:
We can find the volume of a figure composed of three-dimensional solids by decomposing it into separate familiar shapes, finding the volume of each shape, and adding those volumes together.
For example, consider the composite figure shown. To calculate its volume, we start by decomposing it into a hemisphere and a cone. Then we find the volume of each shape.
We can find the volume of the cone using the formula
We can find the volume of a sphere using the formula
Lastly, we add the volume of the cone and hemisphere to get the volume of the solid:
