About This Chapter
Area, Perimeter & Volume of Geometric Shapes - Chapter Summary
In this chapter, you can watch 5-minute video lessons about the definition of symmetry. You can use our short quizzes to test your understanding of the ways to find the volume of a prism. When you've finished this chapter, you will have refreshed your memory on the following:
- Area of rectangles
- Symmetry in math
- Formula for the volume of a cube
- Prisms and pyramids' volume
The instructor is just a click away if you have any questions. Review specific parts of the videos with ease using the timeline located below each one. If you prefer to read the lessons, you can check out the video transcripts. They include bold printed vocabulary words that make it easier to study.
1. Area of Triangles and Rectangles
How do you find out the area of rectangles and triangles? Learn how in this lesson! We'll look at the formulas, then practice solving problems for each shape.
2. What is Symmetry in Math? - Definition & Concept
Symmetry occurs in many areas of mathematics. This lesson explains symmetry in math and explores the three basic types of symmetry: rotational symmetry, reflection symmetry, and point symmetry.
3. How to Calculate the Volume of a Cube: Formula & Practice
In this lesson, you will explore the formula used to calculate the volume of a cube. You will also gain a conceptual understanding of volume and appropriate units to use. Then test your knowledge in a brief quiz.
4. Volume of Prisms and Pyramids
In this lesson, we'll learn about prisms and pyramids. We'll look at the different types of prisms and pyramids, as well as practice calculating volume for each shape.
