Volume of prisms at a glance
Volume of 3D shapes is a measure of how much space there is inside the 3D shape. A prism is a 3D shape with two identical ends joined by a number of rectangular faces. The cross-section of a prism could be any polygon.
To calculate the volume of prisms we multiply the area of the cross-section by the length of the prism, text{Volume} = text{Cross-sectional Area} times text{Height} . For example, to find the volume of a trapezoidal prism, we would calculate the area of the trapezium and multiply this by the height of the prism.
Note that cuboids are a special type of prism and finding the volume of the cuboid could be done by finding the volume of a rectangular prism.
The volume of a prism is measured in units cubed, for example cm^3 or mm^3.
Looking forward, students can then progress to additional volume worksheets and other geometry worksheets, for example a simplifying expressions worksheet or simultaneous equations worksheet.
