Answer 1

How is volume calculated for a triangular prism?

Multiply the area of the triangular base by the prism’s height.

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

The volume of any prism whose height is perpendicular to the base is

V = B * h

The base can be anything, even a 17 sided figure. As long as the base has an area that can be found, and the height is perpendicular to it, the volume can be calculated.
