Find the area of a triangular section, 1/2bh, and then multiply by the length of the prism.
To find the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of the triangles (base of the prism) first (base x height divided by 2). When you have the area of the triangle, then multiply the area of the triangle by the height of the prism, *not the height of the base.
Like all prisms you find the area of one of the triangular faces and then multiply by the height.
Volume = Area of the base X height of prism. This formula works for all prisms, not just triangular prisms. Area of a triangle = height of triangle X 1/2 X base of triangle.
Triangular prism
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
If you triplied the height of a triangular prism, would that triple it volume
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
Do you mean, what is the volume of a (right) triangular prism? Multiply the area of one end by the length of the prism.
It depends on triangular what: pyramid, dipyramid, prism, ...
The volume of any prism is worked out in the same way whether it's a hexagonal prism, circular prism or a triangular prism. You just need to times the length of the prism against the area of the cross-section.
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)
You find the volume of a triangular prism by using this formula: Volume = 1/2 base of the triangle x height of the triangle x height of the 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.
Find the area of a triangular section, 1/2bh, and then multiply by the length of the prism.
The answer depends on what measurements you do have.
Volume of a triangular prism = cross-section area times length
