Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the volume of a triangular prism you need 2 things:
The triangles area and the prism's height.
Any prism's volume can be calculated by multiplying its base area with its height.
The Area of a triangle can be calculated in different ways.
The most used and "normal" way is:
(width * height) / 2
Another way is by using herons formula, which looks like this:
a, b, c = different sides of the triangle (length)
s = (a + b + c) / 2
a =
When you have the prism's base area () you just have to multiply:
(V = volume)
