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.
4n+8=2(n+6) Now isolate the n on one side of the equation: 4n+8=2n+12(distribution of the 2) 4n=2n+4(combine like terms) 2n=4(combine like variables) N=2(isolate the n)
