How Do You Find The Volume Of A Right Solid?
A right solid is a three dimensional geometric object with a base that is either a circle or a regular polygon. It may come to a point or have a flat top. The flat top must be identical and parallel to the base, and the sides are then perpendicular to them. If instead the solid is pointed, a line from the point to the center of the base must be perpendicular to the base. These objects make up the geometric categories of the pyramid, prism, cylinder and cone. Their volumes are proportional to the area of the base multiplied by the height. If the base of the object is round, calculate the area of this circle by squaring the radius (or squaring the diameter and dividing by four). Multiply the result by Pi (approximately 3.14). This is the area of the circular base of the cylinder or cone. If the base of the object is an equilateral triangle, calculate its area by multiplying the length of one side of the triangular base by the square root of 3 and then divide by 4. This is the area of the
