How do we find the volume of prisms and cylinders?

Rectangular Solid
                          
                                                 
                                                 V= Bh
 B= Area of Base

 V= 18 x 4
 V= 72 cm cubed 




Find the volume:


V= 20 x 3
V= 60 cm cubed 





B= (b1 + b2/ 2)h         
B= (12 + 6/ 2)4
B= 36 sq cm

V= Bh

V= 36 x 10
V= 360 cm cubed
