Answer: for the rectangular side use the formula A = lw, where A = area, l = length, and h = height. to find the volume of the triangular faces, use the formula A = 1/2bh, where A = area, b = base, and h = height.

Answer:

Remember the formula for calculating volume is: Volume = Area by height. V = A X h.

For a triangle the area is calculated using the formula: Area = half of base by altitude. A = 0.5 X b X a.

So to calculate the volume of a triangular prism, the formula is: V = 0.5 X b X a X h.

Explanation:

hope it helps <33!
