Best Answer

The volume of a rectangular prism is found by;

Volume = Length x Width x Height

The volume of a triangular prism is found by;

Volume = 1/2 x Length x Width x Height

Therefore, Length, Width and Height being identical,

1) the volume of a rectangular prism is twice that of a similar triangular prism

OR

2) the colume of a triangular prism is half that of a similar rectangular prism.

What happens to the volume of a rectangular prism if height is doubled and length and width stay the same?

its volume is also doubled...


How do you find the length of a rectangular prism?

You can compute this only if you know the volume and height, or volume and cross-sectional area. The volume of a rectangular prism is Length X Width X Height. The volume is therefore Length X Area (cross-section). L = V/A L = V/(WH)


What unit measurement can be used for water in a pond?

It depends on whether the pond basically has a flat bottom or sloped. It also depends on whether the pond (or sections thereof) is basically round or rectangular. If flat bottomed and round use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (pi X radius squared X height) . If flat bottomed and rectangular use the formula for the volume of a cube (length X width X height). If sloped and round use the formula for the volume of a cone (1/3 X pi X radius squared X height). If sloped and rectangular use the formula for the volume of a pyramid (1/3 X length X width X height). If the pond is irregular divide it into sections which are more-or-less regular and use the appropriate formula on each section. The number of sections depends on the accuracy desired-and also on the irregularity of the pond.


What is the volume of 23 meters 19 meters and 14 meters?

6118 meters cubed. The formula for the colume of a rectangular prism is length*width*height, so 23*19*14=6118.
