Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...--Have the pupils construct of cardboard a hollow square prism of convenient size, and a pyramid having base and altitude respectively equal to those of the prism. Let them use sand or water to ascertain how many times the contents of the pyramid must be taken to exactly fill the prism. Volume of prism or cylinder = area of base x altitude. Volume of pyramid or cone = area of base x altitude. 1. Find the volume of a square pyramid, the area of the base being 9 square feet and the altitude 6 feet. 1 cu. ft. x 9 x i of 6. 2. What is the volume of a square pyramid whose altitude is 12 inches, one side of the base being 10 inches? 3. The base of a prism is a triangle whose sides measure 3, 4, and 5 inches respectively. Find the solidity, its altitude being 10 inches. 4. The base of a prism 19 feet high is a rectangle whose sides are 9 feet and 13 feet. How many cubic yards does it contain? 5. Find the volume of a prism'-whose bases are equilateral triangles, each side being 4 feet, and the height of the prism being 12 feet. 6. How many cubic feet are 6 ft. there in a stone roller 6 feet long, 8 feet in circumference? 7. Find the volume of a cone whose altitude is 18 meters, diameter of base 6 meters. SURFACE OF SPHERE. 454. A sphere is a body all points on whose surface are equally distant from the centre. The distance from the centre to the surface is called the radius of the sphere. The diameter is a line running between two points on the surface and passing through the centre. CO, CK, CD, CF, and CI axe radii; AD and FO are diameters. 455. If a sphere be cut through at any part, the cut surface will be a circle. When the cutting plane passes through the centre of the sphere, the circle is called a great circle; other circles are called small circles. FXGC is...
