Volume Formula
Triangular Prism
V = (1/2) × b × h × l
where b is the base length, h is the height of the triangle, and l is the length of the prism
Steps
How to Calculate Volume
-
1Measure the base length of the triangular face
-
2Measure the height of the triangular face
-
3Measure the length of the prism
-
4Multiply the base length by the height
-
5Multiply by 1/2
-
6Multiply by the length of the prism

Example
A triangular prism has a base length of 4 units, a height of 3 units, and a length of 5 units.
V = (1/2) × b × h × l
V = (1/2) × 4 × 3 × 5
V = (1/2) × 60
V = 30 cubic units
