area of base x height area of base x height
The base of a rectangular prism is just an old familiar 2D rectangle. All the old familiar 2D formulas for rectangles still apply to it.
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
The volume of a prism is the area of the base (or the cross section of the prism that is perpendicular to the height) times the height.V = Ab * h
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
It depends on what information you have.
The Area of its base times the height of the shape.
area of base x height area of base x height
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
yes.
bwh base times width times hight
Base times height divided by two times length
A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges.
The base of a rectangular prism is just an old familiar 2D rectangle. All the old familiar 2D formulas for rectangles still apply to it.
by finding the area of the base (ex if a square its side times side) and then multiplying that product by the height :D
Volume = Area of the base X height of prism. This formula works for all prisms, not just triangular prisms. Area of a triangle = height of triangle X 1/2 X base of triangle.
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
