7th Grade Volume of Prisms and Cylinders Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 4 — Answers
Show your work. Use the π button on your calculator and round to 1 decimal place.
1.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 22 cm and height 5 cm. The prism is 6 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 330 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 22 × 5 = 55 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 55 × 6
- = 330 cm3
2.A cylinder has a radius of 4 cm and a height of 13 cm. Find its volume, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 653.5 cm3
- V = π × r2 × h = π × 42 × 13
- = π × 208
- ≈ 653.5 cm3
3.A cylinder has a radius of 10 cm and a height of 19 cm. Find its volume, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 5969.0 cm3
- V = π × r2 × h = π × 102 × 19
- = π × 1900
- ≈ 5969.0 cm3
4.A rectangular prism has a volume of 48 cm3. Its base is 6 cm by 2 cm. Find its height.
Answer: 4 cm
- Base area = 6 × 2 = 12 cm2
- Height = 48 ÷ 12 = 4 cm
5.A rectangular prism has a volume of 432 cm3. Its base is 12 cm by 9 cm. Find its height.
Answer: 4 cm
- Base area = 12 × 9 = 108 cm2
- Height = 432 ÷ 108 = 4 cm
6.A cylinder has a radius of 7 cm and a height of 15 cm. Find its volume, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 2309.1 cm3
- V = π × r2 × h = π × 72 × 15
- = π × 735
- ≈ 2309.1 cm3
7.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 4 cm and height 3 cm. The prism is 12 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 72 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 4 × 3 = 6 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 6 × 12
- = 72 cm3
8.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 24 cm and height 3 cm. The prism is 10 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 360 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 24 × 3 = 36 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 36 × 10
- = 360 cm3
9.A cylinder has a radius of 9 cm and a height of 17 cm. Find its volume, correct to 1 decimal place.
Answer: 4326.0 cm3
- V = π × r2 × h = π × 92 × 17
- = π × 1377
- ≈ 4326.0 cm3
10.A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 24 cm and height 5 cm. The prism is 9 cm long. Find its volume.
Answer: 540 cm3
- Area of the triangle = ½ × 24 × 5 = 60 cm2
- V = area of end × length = 60 × 9
- = 540 cm3
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
