A right-angled triangular prism is called a right prism. The formula for calculating the volume of a prism is V = B x h, where B = area of base, and h = height of the prism.

The area for the base is calculated using the formula B = 1/2(length x height) (area of a triangle).

Example: The height of a prism is 10 cm. The base is a right triangle with legs of length 5 cm and 12 cm, so

B = 1/2(5x12)

B = 30cm2

V = B x h = 30cm2 x 10cm

V = 300cm3

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a triangular prism?

The volume of a three-dimensional figure is the amount of space it encloses. The volume V of a triangular prism is the product of the area B of a base and the height h of the prism. (The bases are triangles. In a special case of a right triangular prism the bases are right triangles)

How many 90 degree angles does a triangular prism have?

A triangular prism has three rectangular faces which, between them, will have 4*3 = 12 right angles. It also has two triangular faces and these can have another 2 right angles. So the answer is 12 or 14, depending on whether the triangles are right angled or not.

How do you figure volume of a right triangle prism?

To calculate the volume of a right triangular prism, first determine the area of the triangular base using the formula ( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} ) of the triangle. Then, multiply the area of the triangle by the prism's height (the length perpendicular to the base) using the formula ( \text{Volume} = \text{Area of base} \times \text{height of prism} ). This will give you the volume of the prism.
