Flashcard 7 - Upper Level: Quantitative Reasoning Flashcard Set for the ISEE
Back
The following formulas will be used:
volume of cylinder = \(\pi(r^2)h\)
volume of a rectangular prism = \(l \cdot w \cdot h\)
Explanation:
Capacity is the same as volume. A tank with a circular base is a cylinder. The volume for a cylinder is simply the product of the circle and the height of the tank.
Solving for the capacity of a tank with a rectangular base is the same as solving for the volume of a box. Its volume is:
\[V = length \cdot width \cdot height\]All Flashcard Sets for the ISEE are now available as downloadable PDFs
