Right and Oblique Solids Volume
Learning Intentions and Success Criteria
We are learning to:
- Comprehend that if two solids are cut into cross sections by parallel planes, and the corresponding cross sections on each plane always have equal areas, then the two solids have the same volume (Cavalieri’s Principle)
- Know that if two solids have equal-area cross sections at all heights, they have the same volumes
Equal Volumes?
For each pair of solids, decide whether the volumes of the two solids are equal. Show your calculations and explain your reasoning.
