calculate the overall volume as if the prism wasn't truncated and did form a central peak (v = 1/2*b*h*l), then calculate the volume of the prism above the truncation. Then deduct this from the overall volume.
Work out the area of one end, then multiply by the length.
The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.
Volume = area of pentagon x length of prism.
To figure out the surface area of a reactangular prism you have to multiply length x width and then multiply that by how many faces it has, to figure out volume you multiply the length x width x height of the prism and than you will find your answer!!!!!

Measure, then multiply(length of the prism) x (width of the prism) x (height of the prism) .The product of the three dimensions is the volume of the prism.
A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.
multiply length * width / 2=volume
Its volume is: cross-section area times its length
1/2 h(a+b)
You cannot calculate it without the length. However, it is possible to get the volume by submerging the prism in water and measuring the volume of the displaced water.
just not to confuse you, here is the question more clearer: A prism has a cross section that is a regular hexagon The area of the cross section is 10.4m^2. The volume of the prism is 8.84m^2. Calculate the height of the prism.
Work out the area of one end, then multiply by the length.
length x width x height
It depends on what vbh stands for.
Capacity generally implies volume in geometry. To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of its triangular bases and multiply it by the height of the shape.
