No closing statement: Assessment Day
I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side lengths, and I can use formulas to find the volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Some numbers are considered to be rational; this means that they can be written as a fraction.
All fractions can be converted to decimals by using division. Some decimals are terminating, while others are repeating.
The Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to a 3-dimensional shape in order to find the diagonal length of a rectangular prism. The formula for finding this diagonal length is
The volume formulas for cylinders, cones, and spheres can be used to solve real world problems. They can also be used to compare volumes of geometric figures.
Since a hemisphere has the same volume as a cone, you can use the cone formula to find the volume of a hemisphere. To find the volume of a sphere, you can double this OR you can use the formula for a sphere:
Since it takes three cones to fill one cylinder, we could say the volume of a cone is 1/3 that of a cylinder. The volume formula for a cone is:
The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space inside the container. The volume of a cylinder can be found by multiplying the area of the base by its height..
