A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.

∙ 2015-02-25 20:30:13The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
V = l × w × h
A rectangular prism has three dimension: its length, width and height. A flat and long prism is one whose height is small and length is large.
The base area * height = Volume
That depends on the type of prism. For finding the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply the length by the width then by the height.
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
In both cases, volume = cross-sectional area x length
A person can find the volume of a prism by 1/2 x length x width x height. This formula works for a triangular prism.
V = l × w × h
A rectangular prism has three dimension: its length, width and height. A flat and long prism is one whose height is small and length is large.
The base area * height = Volume
V = Ah/3
Volume of a prism and a cylinder= cross-section area*height or length
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).
