 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Cones, cylinders, and spheres are not just mathematical figures, they are also everywhere in our daily lives. In this unit we will study the volume formulas of those 3-D shapes by first examining and comparing the similarities and differences between 2-D and 3-D shapes. Then we will learn the correlations between different attributes of 2-D and 3-D shapes. Finally we will use formulas of volumes to solve mathematical problems and apply the formulas to real life examples.
