Assuming that the prism is a right triangular prism and that the 3 of the numbers are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and the 4th is the length of the prism,

Suppose the sides of the triangle are a, b and c units and let s = (a+b+c)/2

then area of the triangle = sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

and so, if the length of the prism is d,

its volume = d*sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

Do you have to multiply all the numbers to find the volume of a prism?

No, that will not give you the volume of a prism (since it's a triangular shape, not cuboid). For volume of a prism, you need to find the area of one of the end triangles, then multiply by the length of the prism.


How do you find capacity for a triangular prism?

Capacity generally implies volume in geometry. To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of its triangular bases and multiply it by the height of the shape.
