For this activity, your task is to collect two 3-D items from your environment in order to calculate their volumes and surface areas. One item will be either a prism or a pyramid, the other item will be either a cone or a cylinder. Object 1: soup can 3-D Shape: cylinder dimensions?
Base of Object 1: ? Area Formula:? Base Area: ?
3-D Shape of Object 1: cylinder Volume Formula: ? Volume?
3-Dshape of Object 1: cylinder Surface Area Formula: ? Surface Area?
What should your units on your base area calculations be, and why? How is this
different from the units on your volume calculations? Explain in two to three sentences?
If you were to take a cross-section parallel to the base for one of your items, what shape
would you see? Can a cross-section be a sphere? Explain in two to three sentences?
