Question

Base of a prism is a right triangle with legs 3 feet and 4 feet. The height is 13 feet , what is the volume?

Answer 1

Triangular prisms

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
