In general, the formula for the volume of a prism is (if the prism is standing on its end, so that all the vertical sides are rectangles), the area of the base times the height. Now, the area of the base depends upon the shape of the base. It could be triangular. It could be rectangular. It could be trapezoidal. It could be pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. If you were more specific about what kind of prism it was (i.e., the shape of the base), I might be able to provide a more precise formula. But, with what you gave me to work with, the best I can do is the area of the base times the height.

What is the formula in finding the volume of rectangular prism?
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
How do you find the volume of a rectangluar prism?
Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism prism?
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
How do you convert the volume of a prism into the volume of a pyramid that has the same base area and height?
formula of the volume of a prism = (base area)(height) formula of the volume of a pyramid = (1/3)(base area)(height) therefore, to convert the volume of a prism to that of a pyramid, just divide it by 3
How do you do the volume of a triangular prism?
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
