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.
Unit rate is often a useful means for comparing ratios and their associated rates when measured in different units. The unit rate allows us to compare varying sizes of quantities by examining the number of units of one quantity per one unit of the second quantity. This value of the ratio is the unit rate.
