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
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.
length x width x height
Volume of prism = area of cross section x length.
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.

1/2 h(a+b)

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.
