The base of a rectangular prism is a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width.
Bh
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
The base of a rectangular prism is a base of a rectangle!
Multiply the base area by the height.
The base of a rectangular prism is a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width.
Volume of rectangular prism = area of base x height

For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
The base of a rectangular prism is a base of a rectangle!
Volume of a rectangular prism = base x height. If volume and height are known, solve for base area by dividing volume by height.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
Multiply the base area by the height.
The base area * height = Volume
If the base is a rectangle, use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
The base of a prism is always rectangular, so the area, A, =lw. l is length, w is width, of the base.
Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the base area x height. (V=BxH or Volume = Base Area * Height) To get the base area, simply divide the volume by the height. (B=V/H or Base Area = Volume / Height)
