Volume of a Triangular Prism Calculator

Welcome! This tool computes the volume V of a triangular prism.

Step-by-step method

1. Identify what is given.
2. Write the formula.
3. Substitute the values and calculate the volume.

Formula:

Example 1: b = 3, h = 4, ℓ = 5

Step 1 - Identify what is given.

In this problem: The given values are b = 3, h = 4, ℓ = 5.

Step 2 - Write the formula.

In this problem: Use the triangular prism volume formula: V = ½ × b × h × ℓ.

Step 3 - Substitute the values and calculate the volume.

In this problem: Substitute and compute: V = ½ × 3 × 4 × 5 = 30.

Final answer: V = 30

Example 2: b = 5.5, h = 2, ℓ = 1.2

Step 1 - Identify what is given.

In this problem: The given values are b = 5.5, h = 2, ℓ = 1.2.

Step 2 - Write the formula.

In this problem: Use the triangular prism volume formula: V = ½ × b × h × ℓ.

Step 3 - Substitute the values and calculate the volume.

In this problem: Substitute and compute: V = ½ × 5.5 × 2 × 1.2 = 6.6.

Final answer: V = 6.6
