for
a cylinder.Directions: This assignment will create a spreadsheet that calculates the volume of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and cylinders. The assignment has 15 questions and is worth 15 points.
For this assignment we will use the following equations:
1) V = lwh for a rectangular prism.
2) V = Bh for a triangular prism. (Remember that B = .5bh, or is the area of the base)
3) for
a cylinder.
Open a new spreadsheet and create a spreadsheet that will calculate the volumes of a rectangular prism, a triangular prism, and a cylinder. Use the spreadsheet to find the volume of each shape in worksheet 4-7 which is below. Make your spreadsheet look like the following.
Problems 1-6: Rectangular Prisms
1) l = 4 ft, w = 12 ft, h = 15 ft
2) l = 4.5 cm, w = 6.5 cm, h = 9cm
3) l = 50 cm, w = 35 cm, h = 48
4) l = 16 m, w = 13 m , h = 15 m
5) l = 5.8 ft, w = 8 ft, h = 6 ft
6) l = 5.8 ft, w = .275 ft, h = .05 ft
Problems 7-12: Cylinders
7) r = 10 m, h = 8 m
8) d = 12 ft, h = 9 ft
9) d = 6 km, h = .5 km
10) r = 6 yd, h = 6.5 yd
11) r = 3.1 cm, h = 8.3 cm
12) d = 7.2 in, h = 5.25 in
Problems 13-15: Triangular Prisms
13) B = 6 m, h = 4.7 m
14) B = 243 cm, h = 456 cm
15) B = 9.3 km, h = .023 km
