I think first you calculate the area of the triangular face. If you forgot that's ok. The formula is A= bxh divided by 2 which is the same as the area of a triangle is base multiplyed by height and divided by two. Then you need to know the length of the prism(the length of the rectangle)and multiply them together. So your calculation should look like this: Triangular face- A=bxh divided by 2 let's say that the base of the triangle is 5 cm and the height is 12cm Length of prism- let's say the length is 25 cm A=bxh divided by 2 A=5 x 12 divided by 2 A = 20 divided by 2 A = 30 cm squared 30 x 25 = 750cm squared( little 2)
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.
1/2 x length x width x 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- 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
