Volume of Prisms and Cylinders WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is great as an introductory task for finding the volume of prisms and cylinders.

Section A would be perfect as a retrieval activity as it requires learners to find the area of 2D shapes that would form the cross-section of a prism or cylinder.

Section B then provides some 3D shapes beginning with cuboids and triangular prisms before then including prisms with trapezium cross-sections and then ending with some cylinders.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
