Best Answer

V=Area of the base*Height.

The base is one of the two congruent faces of a prism. For example, in the picture attached, the base would be the five-sided face (pentagon) in a, and the triangle in b. The height would be the measurement of any of (they're all the same) the remaining sides that are not a part of the bases.

To find the volume of a prism, you multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism. The formula is V = Bh, where V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height of the prism.
