Solids in which V = Ab × h
This is a group of solids in which the volume is equal to the product of the area of the base and the altitude. Two types of solids belong to this group namely, prisms and cylinders.
Solid Geometry (also known as Solid Mensuration) is the study of various solids. It is the study of the measure of volume, area, height, length, and many more. This subject is used extensively in the practice of engineering. The knowledge of this subject is a necessity to engineers in any project construction.
This subject will cover the following: Cube, Rectangular Parallelepiped, Prism, Cylinder, Cone, Frustums, Spheres, Solids of Revolution, Prismatoid, etcetera.
