Perimeter, Area, Volume Spread Sheet

 
Homework:
Study for the final exam by reviewing the Chapter Tests for Chapters 1 - 9.
    Email the prof by 10 pm, Thursday, April 30, with problems to be reviewed during Friday's class.
 
Classwork:
 
    Work today is on lenght, width, height, 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensions, perimeter, area, and volume.
 
    Create work sheet that computes the volumes of a rectangular prism, a rectangular pyramid, a cylinder, and a cone.
 
1st: Open the spread sheet you created last week.
 
2nd: Open the page linked here, type your name on it, print it, close the page and refer to the printed sheet if you need it.
 
3rd: Today you will work on a second, unused, work sheet in the spread sheet.
 
4th: Paste the 2 pictures of the volumes of rectangular solids and pyramids on the work sheet and designate cells and formulas to complete the computation.
The volume of a rectangular prism, V(l,w, h)= lwh.
The volume of a rectangular pyramid, V(l,w, h)= lwh/3.
lenght:  
width:  
height:  
  cubic units
  cubic units

 
5th: Paste the 2 pictures of the volumes of cylinders and cones on the work sheet and designate cells and formulas to complete the computation.
The volume of a cylinder, V(r, h)= r²h.
The volume of a cone, V(r, h)= r²h/3.
radius:  
height:  
  cubic units
  cubic units


    Recall from last class how to use the cells and formulas to make the spread sheet do computation for you.
 
 
 
    You are also reminded that:
 
To switch between applications use ALT + TAB and release when you get to the the application you need.
Copy is CRTL + C.
Paste is CRTL + V.
the symbol in Excel for , pi is
pi()
the symbol for square is
^2
To test the formula for computing the volumes of a prism, rectangular pyramid, cone, and cylinder use the the yellow regions of this page.
 
Last:
Email your spread sheet to yourself and to your prof.
