§ 68. VOLUME OF A DIRECT PRISM.

1. Volume of a right triangular prism.

Suppose we need to find the volume of a right triangular prism, the base area of ​​which is equal to S, and the height is equal to h= AA" = = BB" = SS" (drawing 306).

Let us separately draw the base of the prism, i.e. triangle ABC (Fig. 307, a), and build it up to a rectangle, for which we draw a straight line KM through vertex B || AC and from points A and C we lower perpendiculars AF and CE onto this line. We get rectangle ACEF. Drawing the height ВD of triangle ABC, we see that rectangle ACEF is divided into 4 right triangle. Moreover /\ ALL = /\ BCD and /\ VAF = /\ VAD. This means that the area of ​​the rectangle ACEF is doubled more area triangle ABC, i.e. equal to 2S.

To this prism with base ABC we will attach prisms with bases ALL and BAF and height h(Figure 307, b). We obtain a rectangular parallelepiped with a base
ACEF.

If we dissect this parallelepiped with a plane passing through straight lines BD and BB", we will see that the rectangular parallelepiped consists of 4 prisms with bases
BCD, ALL, BAD and BAF.

Prisms with bases BCD and VSE can be combined, since their bases are equal ( /\ ВСD = /\ BSE) and their side edges are also equal, which are perpendicular to the same plane. This means that the volumes of these prisms are equal. The volumes of prisms with bases BAD and BAF are also equal.

Thus, it turns out that the volume of a given triangular prism with a base
ABC is half the volume rectangular parallelepiped with ACEF base.

We know that the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height, i.e. in this case it is equal to 2S h. Hence the volume of this right triangular prism is equal to S h.

The volume of a right triangular prism is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height.

2. Volume of a right polygonal prism.

To find the volume of a right polygonal prism, for example a pentagonal one, with base area S and height h, let's divide it into triangular prisms (Fig. 308).

Denoting the base areas of triangular prisms by S 1, S 2 and S 3, and the volume of a given polygonal prism by V, we obtain:

V = S 1 h+ S 2 h+ S 3 h, or
V = (S 1 + S 2 + S 3) h.

And finally: V = S h.

In the same way, the formula for the volume of a right prism with any polygon at its base is derived.

Means, The volume of any right prism is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height.

Schoolchildren who are preparing for passing the Unified State Exam in mathematics, you should definitely learn how to solve problems to find the area of ​​a straight line and correct prism. Many years of practice confirm the fact that many students consider such geometry tasks to be quite difficult.

At the same time, high school students with any level of training should be able to find the area and volume of a regular and straight prism. Only in this case will they be able to count on receiving competitive scores based on the results of passing the Unified State Exam.

Key Points to Remember

  • If the lateral edges of a prism are perpendicular to the base, it is called a straight line. All side faces of this figure are rectangles. The height of a straight prism coincides with its edge.
  • A regular prism is one whose side edges are perpendicular to the base in which the regular polygon is located. Side faces of this figure are equal rectangles. A correct prism is always straight.

Suppose we need to find the volume of a right triangular prism, the base area of ​​which is equal to S, and the height is equal to h= AA’ = BB’ = CC’ (Fig. 306).

Let us separately draw the base of the prism, i.e. triangle ABC (Fig. 307, a), and build it up to a rectangle, for which we draw a straight line KM through vertex B || AC and from points A and C we lower perpendiculars AF and CE onto this line. We get rectangle ACEF. Drawing the height ВD of triangle ABC, we see that rectangle ACEF is divided into 4 right triangles. Moreover, \(\Delta\)ALL = \(\Delta\)BCD and \(\Delta\)BAF = \(\Delta\)BAD. This means that the area of ​​rectangle ACEF is twice the area of ​​triangle ABC, i.e. equal to 2S.

To this prism with base ABC we will attach prisms with bases ALL and BAF and height h(Fig. 307, b). We obtain a rectangular parallelepiped with an ACEF base.

If we dissect this parallelepiped with a plane passing through straight lines BD and BB’, we will see that the rectangular parallelepiped consists of 4 prisms with bases BCD, ALL, BAD and BAF.

Prisms with bases BCD and BC can be combined, since their bases are equal (\(\Delta\)BCD = \(\Delta\)BCE) and their side edges, which are perpendicular to the same plane, are also equal. This means that the volumes of these prisms are equal. The volumes of prisms with bases BAD and BAF are also equal.

Thus, it turns out that the volume of a given triangular prism with base ABC is half the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped with base ACEF.

We know that the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height, i.e. in this case it is equal to 2S h. Hence the volume of this right triangular prism is equal to S h.

The volume of a right triangular prism is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height.

2. Volume of a right polygonal prism.

To find the volume of a right polygonal prism, for example a pentagonal one, with base area S and height h, let's divide it into triangular prisms (Fig. 308).

Denoting the base areas of triangular prisms by S 1, S 2 and S 3, and the volume of a given polygonal prism by V, we obtain:

V = S 1 h+ S 2 h+ S 3 h, or

V = (S 1 + S 2 + S 3) h.

And finally: V = S h.

In the same way, the formula for the volume of a right prism with any polygon at its base is derived.

Means, The volume of any right prism is equal to the product of the area of ​​its base and its height.

Prism volume

Theorem. The volume of a prism is equal to the product of the area of ​​the base and the height.

First we prove this theorem for a triangular prism, and then for a polygonal one.

1) Let us draw (Fig. 95) through edge AA 1 of the triangular prism ABCA 1 B 1 C 1 a plane parallel to face BB 1 C 1 C, and through edge CC 1 a plane parallel to face AA 1 B 1 B; then we will continue the planes of both bases of the prism until they intersect with the drawn planes.

Then we get a parallelepiped BD 1, which is divided by the diagonal plane AA 1 C 1 C into two triangular prisms (one of which is this one). Let us prove that these prisms are equal in size. To do this, we draw a perpendicular section abcd. The cross-section will produce a parallelogram whose diagonal ac is divided into two equal triangles. This prism is equal in size to a straight prism whose base is \(\Delta\) abc, and the height is edge AA 1. Another triangular prism is equal in area to a straight line whose base is \(\Delta\) adc, and the height is edge AA 1. But two straight prisms with equal bases and equal heights are equal (because when inserted they are combined), which means that the prisms ABCA 1 B 1 C 1 and ADCA 1 D 1 C 1 are equal in size. It follows from this that the volume of this prism is half the volume of the parallelepiped BD 1; therefore, denoting the height of the prism by H, we get:

$$ V_(\Delta ex.) = \frac(S_(ABCD)\cdot H)(2) = \frac(S_(ABCD))(2)\cdot H = S_(ABC)\cdot H $$

2) Let us draw diagonal planes AA 1 C 1 C and AA 1 D 1 D through the edge AA 1 of the polygonal prism (Fig. 96).

Then this prism will be cut into several triangular prisms. The sum of the volumes of these prisms constitutes the required volume. If we denote the areas of their bases by b 1 , b 2 , b 3, and the total height through H, we get:

volume of polygonal prism = b 1H+ b 2H+ b 3 H =( b 1 + b 2 + b 3) H =

= (area ABCDE) H.

Consequence. If V, B and H are numbers expressing in the corresponding units the volume, base area and height of the prism, then, according to what has been proven, we can write:

In a regular triangular prism ABCA_1B_1C_1, the sides of the base are 4 and the side edges are 10. Find the cross-sectional area of ​​the prism by the plane passing through the midpoints of the edges AB, AC, A_1B_1 and A_1C_1.

Show solution

Solution

Consider the following figure.

The segment MN is midline triangle A_1B_1C_1, therefore MN = \frac12 B_1C_1=2. Likewise, KL=\frac12BC=2. In addition, MK = NL = 10. It follows that the quadrilateral MNLK is a parallelogram. Since MK\parallel AA_1, then MK\perp ABC and MK\perp KL. Therefore, the quadrilateral MNLK is a rectangle. S_(MNLK) = MK\cdot KL = 10\cdot 2 = 20.

The volume of a regular quadrangular prism ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1 is 24 . Point K is the middle of edge CC_1. Find the volume of the pyramid KBCD.

Show solution

Solution

According to the condition, KC is the height of the pyramid KBCD. CC_1 is the height of the prism ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1 .

Since K is the midpoint of CC_1, then KC=\frac12CC_1. Let CC_1=H , then KC=\frac12H. Note also that S_(BCD)=\frac12S_(ABCD). Then, V_(KBCD)= \frac13S_(BCD)\cdot\frac(H)(2)= \frac13\cdot\frac12S_(ABCD)\cdot\frac(H)(2)= \frac(1)(12)\cdot S_(ABCD)\cdot H= \frac(1)(12)V_(ABCDA_1B_1C_1D_1). Hence, V_(KBCD)=\frac(1)(12)\cdot24=2.

Show solution

Solution

Let a be the side of the base of the first vessel, then 2 a is the side of the base of the second vessel. By condition, the volume of liquid V in the first and second vessels is the same. Let us denote by H the level to which the liquid has risen in the second vessel. Then V= \frac12\cdot a^2\cdot\sin60^(\circ)\cdot40= \frac(a^2\sqrt3)(4)\cdot40, And, V=\frac((2a)^2\sqrt3)(4)\cdot H. From here \frac(a^2\sqrt3)(4)\cdot40=\frac((2a)^2\sqrt3)(4)\cdot H, 40=4H, H=10.

In a regular hexagonal prism ABCDEFA_1B_1C_1D_1E_1F_1 all edges are equal to 2. Find the distance between points A and E_1.

Show solution

Solution

Triangle AEE_1 is rectangular, since edge EE_1 is perpendicular to the plane of the base of the prism, angle AEE_1 will be a right angle.

Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, AE_1^2 = AE^2 + EE_1^2. Let's find AE from triangle AFE using the cosine theorem. Each interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120^(\circ). Then AE^2= AF^2+FE^2-2\cdot AF\cdot FE\cdot\cos120^(\circ)= 2^2+2^2-2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot\left (-\frac12 \right).

Hence, AE^2=4+4+4=12,

AE_1^2=12+4=16,

AE_1=4.
