What is the volume of the triangular prism if there are four numbers on the shape?

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)]

∙ 8y agoThe volume of a triangular prism can be found with the following formula, in which a, b, and c are base sides and h is the height: V = 0.25h(-a4 + 2(ab)2 + 2(ac)2 - b4 + 2(bc)2 - c4)1/2

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.
What shape does a triangular prism have than a rectangular prism does not have?
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
What shape has 6 vertices and 5 faces?
A triangular prism.
What shape does a triangular prism have that a recutangular prism does not havee?
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.

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.
