The Area of its base times the height of the shape.
Volume = area of pentagon x length of prism.
Volume of prism = area of cross section x length.
Volume of a triangular prism = (1/2.b.h)Hb = base of the triangleh = height of the triangleH = height of the actual prism. = multiplied byThe volume of a prism is volume equals base times height. You have to know the base and height to find the volume.
To find the volume on a rectangular prism, the equaton is: length*width*height
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.
In both cases, volume = cross-sectional area x length
V = l × w × h
The base area * height = Volume
Volume of a prism and a cylinder= cross-section area*height or length
V = Ah/3
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.
Volume = cross-sectional Area x Length (or height).
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
The Area of its base times the height of the shape.
