All prisms are uniformal shapes meaning that you only need to calculate the base are area and multiply it by the length for example:
Circular Prisms (cylinders)= (area of the base ) (height)=(πr^2)(h)
where h is the height and r is the radius
rectangular prisms = (area of the base) height =(ab) (c)
square prisms (cubes)= (area of the base) height=(S^2)(S)=S^3
where s is any side
triangular prisms =(area of the base) height =(0.5 b h) (l)=0.5 b h l
b is the base of your triangle and h is the height of the triangle and l is the length of the triangular prism
