Let’s now look at triangular wedges. To calculate their volume we need to multiply the area of the triangle of the wedge face, times the length of the wedge. The area of the triangle of the wedge, is calculated by multiplying the length of the base, times the height of the triangle and dividing the result by two. We then multiply the area value by the length of the wedge. The resulting value will give us the volume of the wedge. The volume For a solid cylinder shape, can be calculated by multiplying the area of the circle face of the cylinder, by the height of the cylinder. The area of the circle face of the cylinder can be calculated, by multiplying pie times the radius squared. We then take that area value and multiply it by the height of the cylinder, giving as a result it’s volume. Let’s now move to the next topic, and practice doing volume calculations.
