(11C) Prismoidal Solver
Prismoidal formula is used in the calculation of earthwork quantities.

The "Volume" of any prismoid is equal to one-sixth its length multiplied
by the sum of the two end-areas plus four times the mid-area.

Formula Used: V = [ h(m1 + 4m2 + m3) ] ÷ 6

Where:

m1 (Base Area)
m2 (Middle Section Area)
m3 (Top Area)
h (Height)

----------------------------------
Procedure: User Mode

[A] Rectangular Prism
Height [ENTER] Length [ENTER] Width [A]

[B] Cylinder
Height [ENTER] Radius [B]

[C] Pyramid
Height [ENTER] Length [ENTER] Width [C]

[D] Sphere
Height [D]

[E] Custom Volume
Height [ENTER] Middle Area [ENTER] Top Area [ENTER] Base Area [E]

Example: FIX 1

Volume of Pyramid:
h = 10
w = 8
l = 6

10 [ENTER] 8 [ENTER] 6 [C] display 160

----------------------------

Volume of Sphere:
r = 3 // Radius is 3 double this up become 6 (Height = 6)

6 [D] display 113.1

RE: (11C) Prismoidal Solver
Some more examples (FIX 3)
Rectangular prism
h=6
l=12
w=4
solution---> 288,000

Cylinder
h=24
r=12
solution---> 10.857,344

Volume of Pyramid
a) rectangular base
h=10
w=8
l=6
solution---> 160,000
b) cuadrangular base
h=11,313708
w=8
l=8
solution---> 241,359

Volume of Sphere
r=12 (so h=r*2= 24)
solution---> 7.238,229

Custom volume (e.g. barrel)
h= 0,9000
M= 0,2749
T= 0,1178
B= 0,1178
solution---> 0,200
