Volumes (Back to Shortcuts...) Formula Sheet for Grade 8	Do you memorize or calculate the volume? The volume of any right, uniform shape is easy to calculate, so it does not need to be memorized. The 3D shape has a base. Imagine you cut out identical paper copies of the base. Then stack them one on top of the other until the full 3D shape is formed. The volume is then akin to the area of one sheet times the number of sheets stacked, which is just another way of saying the height. Such constructs would be similar to the shown below, but using identical slices rather than changing ones. Verify this in the volumes of the following right, uniform, not tilted prisms and cylinders. These simpler volumes equal the base area times the height. But this is only the case for regular shapes. The base area repeats along the entire height, as is, everywhere. That is not the case with the pyramid, and the cone, which has stacked triangles and circles, but with the raising height the shapes are getting smaller, so they are not identical. The formula for these volumes are harder to remember.
Tricks to remember The volume of the pyramid is one third of the volume of the circumscribing rectangular prism. Thus, if the base of the pyramid is rectangular then its volume is (L*W*h)/3. The volume of the cone is one third of the volume of the circumscribing cylinder. Thus, since the base of the cone is circular then its volume is ( π*r2*h)/3. All you have to memorize is the ratio: one third , the rest you can calculate from the predictable volume of the rectangular prism and cone.

Divisibility Rules (Back to Shortcuts...)		Quick ways to determine divisibility: A number is divisible by 2 if it terminates with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4. A number is divisible by 5 if it terminates with 5 or 0. A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are divisible by 8. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of digits is divisible by 9. A number is divisible by 10 if it terminates with 0.

Square Roots (Back to Shortcuts...)
Perfect Squares		To do well on most square root tasks you should memorize most of the ones listed below. See more squares...
What is a square root?		The square root of a number is easy to spot when the number is formatted as a square. For example, when formatting 9 as a square: 9 = 3 2 , it is easy to see the "root" of the square is 3. The identified root of such a square is called a "square root" or "radical". The method to find the square root of a is as follows: Step 1: Step 2: format a as a square, ask yourself, what number squared will give you a: a = b 2 Step 3: replace a in the original expression Step 4: Conclude that: Thus the problem of square-rooting becomes a much simpler problem of formatting a number as a square. If in doubt, check the table of perfect squares above. CAVEAT: If a number cannot be formatted as a perfect square, we typically use a calculator, as the algorithm to extract a decimal square root is more complicated.
Sorting Square Roots		How do we know this is true for sure? Check out the Radical function below (in this case a radical of order II = square root) and notice the function is continuously rising. As long as a is "earlier" than b on the horizontal number line, the result of the square root is also "earlier" on the vertical number line. Drag a and b tto experiment on the demonstration below. (Click on the image to experiment with this graph). Since any number can be fitted between two perfect squares, you can easily estimate roughly, approximations of the square root of all such numbers. Here is an example: All the numbers n between 64 and 81 are larger than 64 and smaller than 81: Thus the square root of any number between 64 and 81 must be between 8 and 9. You can use this technique to place the approximate roots of any radicals (square roots) between two consecutive known perfect squares.
