Volume of Triangular Prism

Geometry deals with shapes, structures, lines, planes and angle’s. Geometry learning is also known as architectural learning. Basic shapes of geometry are square, triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid etc. Triangle is one of the basic shapes in geometry. The total internal angle of the triangle is 180 degree.

Prism:

In mathematics, prism is one interesting shapes in geometry. It is a polyhedron of n-sided prism which has a base of n-sided polygonal, copy of a translated which has joining n faces with the sides.

Definition of volume:

In mathematics, Volume is one interesting measure of geometry. It is an amount of three-dimensional space of an object occupies.

Formula for finding the Volume of triangular prism:

The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,

Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism

Base area of prism =` (bh)/2`

Where, b = base of the triangle

            h = height of the prism.

           First the base area of the triangular prism is to be calculated. Using that value the volume of the prism can be calculated.

Volume of triangular prism Problems:

Example 1:

Find the volume of the triangular prism, whose base is 7 cm, height is 9 cm and length is 12 cm.


Solution:
The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,
Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism
Given: b = 7 cm, height = 9cm and length = 12cm
Base area =` (bh)/2`
                = `(7*9)/2`
                = `63/2`
                = 31.5 cm²
Volume     = 31.5*12
                = 378 cm³.
The answer is 378 cm³.

Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on Area of an Octagon and ix std cbse question papers. I am sure they will be helpful.

Example 2:
Find the volume of the triangular prism, whose base is 5.5 cm, height of the prism is 9 cm and length is 7 cm.



Solution:
The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,
Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism
Given: b= 5.5 cm, height = 9 cm and length = 7 cm.
Base area = `(bh)/2`
                = `(5.5*9)/2`
                = `49.5/2`
                = 24.75 cm².
Volume     = 24.75*7
                = 173.25 cm³.
The answer is 173.25 cm³.         

Application Integration Standards

Calculus has two parts. There are integrtaion and differentiation. The definition of differentiation is "rate of change of input". The Process of differentiation is called integration. For example, f(x) is a function, The integration of given function  can be  expressed as `int` f(x) dx .Here, f(x) is a continuous function. Integral calculus has two types. One is definite and indefinte integral. In this article, we shall discuss about application of standard integration.

Basic standard integration formulas:

1. `int` x ⁿ dx = `(x^n+1) / (n+1)`
2.`int`cos x .dx = sin x + c
3. `int`sin x.dx  = - cos x + c
4.`int`sec²x dx = tan x + c
5. `int`cosec x . cot x .dx = - cosec x + c
6. `int` sec x . tan x. dx = sec x + c
7. `int`cosec² x . dx = -cot x + c
8.`int`a f(x) dx = a `int`f(x) dx
9. `int`[f(x) ± F(x)] dx =`int` f(x) dx ± `int`F(x) dx
10. `int` `(1/x)` dx = ln x + c

These above formulas helps to solve  the standard integration. Area and Volume of the sphere, cylinder, average value these are the main application of integrals.

Application integration standards - problems:

Application integration standards - problem 1:
Determine the area of shaded portion of given graph.

                        
     Solution:
Given  y = x²
The boundary limits are 2 and 5
So we can integrate the given equation is  `int_a^b ` x² dx.
we know the lower limit is 2 and upper limit is 5.
So,   `int_2^5 ` x² dx. =  `[(x^3)/3]_2^5`
= `[(5^3)/3]`.- `[(2^3)/3]`.
= `125/3`  -  `8/3` .
= `(64 - 1)/3` .
= `117/3`     .
= 39 .square units.

Answer:    Area of shaded portion is 39 square units.

Application integration standards - problem 2:

Determine the total area of graph x³ + x² - x and the x axis. the points x = -1   and x = 2

           
    Solution:
Given  x³ + x² - x
the limits are   x = -1  and x = 2
In the above graph x axis -1< x< 0  and 0 < x < 2.
So, the total area = `int_(-1)^0` [x³ + x² - x] dx + ` int_0^2` [x³ + x² - x] dx.
`int_(-1)^0` [x³ + x² - x] dx  = ` [(x^4/4) + (x^3)/3 - ((x^2)/2)]_(-1)^0`
= `[0] - [(-1)^4/4 + (-1)^3/3 - ((-1)^2/2)] `
= ` - [1/4 - 1/3 - 1/2] `
= ` - [(3-4-6)/12] `
= ` - [(-7)/12] `
=   ` [(7/12)] ` .

int_0^2` [x<sup>3</sup> + x<sup>2</sup> - x] dx.      = `[(x^4/4) + (x^3)/3 - ((x^2)/2)]_0^2` ..
                                            = `[(2^4/4) + (2^3/3) - (2^2/2)] - [0]`    .
                                            = `[(16/4) + (8/3) - (4/2)]`    .
                                            = `[(4) + (8/3) - (4/2)]`    .
                                            =  `[(24 + 16 - 12)/6]`  =   `[(28/6)]` .
           `int_(-1)^0` [x<sup>3</sup> + x<sup>2</sup> - x] dx + ` int_0^2` [x<sup>3</sup> + x<sup>2</sup> - x] dx. = ` [(7/12)+(28/6)] ` .
 =  `[(7+56)/12]` .
 =  `63/12` .
     Answer:  Total area is `63/12` .square units.

Decimals and Fraction Solving

We are going to see about the topic of decimals and fraction solving with some related problems.  Decimal have point in between the numbers.  For example, 12.34 is a decimal number.  Fraction is formed by division method.  For example, `45/2` is a fraction.  Both the decimal and fraction are involved in the method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Decimal and fraction methods

Adding decimal:  Two decimal numbers are added.
For example,
                  1 2 . 3 4
                +   1 . 2 2
                -------------------
                  1 3 . 5 6
Subtracting decimal:  Two decimal numbers are subtracted.
For example,
                 1 2 . 3 4
                -   1 . 2 2
                ----------------
                  1 1 . 1 2

Multiplying decimal:  More than one decimal numbers are multiplied.
For example,
                1 . 2 × 1.2
               -------------------
                  1 . 4 4
Dividing decimal:  Divide any two decimal numbers.
For example,
                2)2.4   (1.2
                    1
                ----------
                       4
                       4
                ------------
                       0
In fraction,
Adding fraction:  More than one fraction numbers are added.  It has two method same denominator and different denominator.
For example,
               ` 5/12` + `3/12` = `8/12`
Subtracting fraction:  Subtract the fraction number from another fraction number.  It has two method same denominator and different denominator.
                `5/12` - `3/12 ` = `2/12`
Multiplying fraction:  More than one fraction numbers are multiplied.
                `5/12` * `3/12` = `5/48`
Dividing fraction:  Divide the fraction numbers.
                `5/12` % `5/4` = `1/3`

Solving Expanded Binomials

In binomial is the distinct probability of the number of success in a series of n experiments, all of that defer success by probability p. Such experimentation is also identified a Bernoulli experiment. Actually, when n = 1, the binomial is a Bernoulli distribution. The binomial is the base for the accepted binomial analysis of statistical importance.

solving expanded binomials:

It is often used to form number of success in an example of size n since a population of size N. as the example are not self-sufficient the resultant distribution is hyper arithmetical distribution, not a binomial one. But, for N a large amount of n, the binomial distribution is a good estimate, and widely used.

Definition of binomial: (source: Wikipedia)

The binomial a2 − b2 can be factored as the product of two other binomials:

a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b).

an+1-bn+1 = (a-b)`sum_(k=0)^n a^kb^(n-k)`

This is a special case of the more general formula:

The product of a pair of linear binomials (ax + b) and (cx + d) is:

(ax + b)(cx + d) = acx2 + adx + bcx + bd.

A binomial increase to the nth power stand for as (a + b)n  know how to be expanded through way of the binomial theorem consistently. Taking a simple instance, the ideal square binomial (p + q)2 know how to be establish by squaring the first term, calculation twice the product of the first also second terms and finally calculation the square of the second term, to give p2 + 2pq + q2.

A simple however interesting application of the refer to binomial formula is the (m,n)-formula for make:

for m < n, let a = n2 − m2, b = 2mn, c = n2 + m2, then a2 + b2 = c2.

Example for solving expand binomials:

Example 1:

Expanded (4+5y)2 to solving binomial the equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (4+5y)2

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^2 ((2),(k))4^(2-k)(5y)^k`

Step 3: `((2),(0)) 4^2(5y)^0 + ((2),(1)) 4^1(5y)^1 +((2),(2)) 4^0(5y)^2`

Step 4:  16 + 20y + 25y2.

Example 2:

Expanded (6+3y)3 to solving the binomial equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (6+3y)3

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^3 ((3),(k))6^(3-k)(3y)^k`

Step 3: `((3),(0)) 6^3(3y)^0 + ((3),(1)) 6^2(3y)^1 +((3),(2)) 6^1(3y)^2 + ((3),(3)) (3y)^3`

Step 4:  216 + 108y + 54y2+27y3.

My forthcoming post is on taylor series cos x and cbse sample papers for class 12th will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Example 3:

Expanded (2+3y)2 to solving binomial the equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (2+3y)2

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^2 ((2),(k))2^(2-k)(3y)^k`

Step 3: `((2),(0)) 2^2(3y)^0 + ((2),(1)) 2^1(3y)^1 +((2),(2)) 2^0(3y)^2`

Step 4:  4 + 6y + 9y2.

Subtracting Fractions with Common Denominators

In this article we are going to discuss about Subtracting fractions with common denominator or  like denominators.

A fraction involves two numbers. The top number is said to be numerator and the  bottom number is said to be denominator.

Fraction    =  (Numerator of a fraction) / (Denominator of a fraction)

To subtract the fractions with the common denominator, first subtract the numerators and then put that difference over that common denominator.

How to Subtract fractions with like denominators

Below are the examples on Subtracting fractions with common denominators:

Example problem 1:

Simplify the given fraction, 5/3 – 7/3

Solution:

= 5/3  – 7/3

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (5-7)/3

=(-2)/3

So the result is -2/3

Example problem 2:

Simplify the given fraction, 10/7 – 9/7

Solution:

= 10/7 – 9/7

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (10-9)/7

=(1)/7

So the result is 1/7

Example problem 3:

Simplify the given fraction, 13/9  – 10/9

Solution:

= 13/9 – 10/9

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (13-10)/9

=(3)/9

Equivalent fraction is 1/3

So the result is 1/3 .

Example problem 4:

Simplify the given fraction, 7/9 – 3/9

Solution:

= 7/9 – 3/9

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (7- 3)/9

= (4)/9

Equivalent fraction is 4/9

So the result is 4/9 .

Example problem 5:

Simplify the given fraction, 8/7 – 3/7

Solution:

= 8/7 – 3/7

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (8-3)/7

= (5)/7

Equivalent fraction is 5/7

So the result is 5/7 .

I am planning to write more post on unseen passages for class 7 and unseen passages for class 8. Keep checking my blog.

Example problem 6:

Simplify the given fraction, 8/13 – 5/13

Solution:

= 8/13 – 5/13

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (8-5)/13

= (3)/13

Equivalent fraction is 3/13

So the result is 3/13 .

Figure Measurements

Measurements are used to measure the length of a cloth for stitching, the area of a wall for white washing, the perimeter of a land for fencing and the volume of a container for filling. The measurements consist of lengths, angles, areas, perimeters and volumes of plane and solid figures. If a student wants to know about the measurements of figure, they can be referring the following examples.

Figure Measurements – Examples 1:

These are the examples for measurements of a figure.

figure measurements

Find the area of the triangle whose height is 10cm and base is 6cm.

Solution:

Given base = 6cm

height = 10cm

Area of triangle = `1 / 2 (base xx height)`

= `1 /2 (6 xx 10)`

= `1 / 2 (60)`

= 30

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 30cm2

Find the area of the triangle whose height is 12cm and base is 8cm.

Solution:

Given base = 8cm

height = 12cm

Area of triangle = `1 / 2 (base xx height)`

= `1 /2 (8 xx 12)`

= `1 / 2 (96)`

= 48

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 48cm2

Figure Measurements – Examples 2:

These are the examples for measurements of a figure.

Measurements of Figure 1:

Three angles of a triangle are x + 34˚, x + 40˚ and x + 46˚. We have to find x for the triangle.

Solution:

x + 34 + x +40 + x + 46 = 180˚

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180˚

3x + 120 = 180˚

3x = 180˚ - 120˚

= 90˚

x = `60/3`

= 20˚

Measurements of Figure 2:

The triangle has a three angles  x + 20˚, x + 10˚ and x + 30˚. We have to find x for the triangle.

Solution:

x + 20 + x +10 + x + 30 = 180˚

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180˚

3x + 60 = 180˚

3x = 180˚ - 60˚

= 120˚

x = `120/3`

= 40˚

Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on Multiplying Mixed Number Fractions and Strategies for Addition. I am sure they will be helpful.

Measurements of Figure 3:

The measurements of the angles whose triangle are in the ratio 2:1:3. Calculate the angles of the given triangle values.

Solution:

Ratio of the angles of a triangle = 2:1:3

Total ratio = 2 + 1 + 3

= 6

Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180˚. Therefore,

First angle = `2/6 xx 180`

= 60˚

Second angle = `1/6 xx 180`

= 30˚

Third angle = `3/6 xx 180`

= 90˚
