Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

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.
