Solve problems involving the volumes of right pyramids, right cones, spheres and related composite solids (ACMMG271)
Outcomes
-
Develop and use the formula to find the volumes of right pyramids and right cones:
Volume of pyramid / cone = 1/3Ah where A is the base area and h is the perpendicular height CCT
Examples
-
Use the formula to find the volumes of spheres:
Volume of sphere = 4/3 pi r cubed where r is the length of the radius
Examples
-
Find the volumes of composite solids that include right pyramids, right cones and hemispheres,
eg find the volume of a cylinder with a cone on top
