To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, measure the width and height of a triangular base, then multiply the base by the height by 1/2 to determine the triangle's area. Next, measure the height of the triangular prism and multiply this by the triangle's area to get the volume.
Starting with 113+ (2x+5)=180, combine like terms and to get 118+2x=180. Subtract 180-118, which gives you 62. Then you have 2x=62. Divide both sides by 2 to get a final answer of x=31.
