The volume \( V \) of a triangular prism is calculated using the formula:
Consider a triangular prism with a base of 5 units, height of 4 units, and length of 10 units. The volume is calculated as follows:
\( V = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4 \times 10 = 100 \, \text{units}^3 \)
A triangular prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.
The base and height of the triangle are measured perpendicular to each other. The base is one side of the triangle, while the height is the line segment perpendicular to the base from the opposite vertex.
The division by 2 in the formula accounts for the fact that the base and height define a triangle, which is half of a rectangle.
Yes, prisms can have different base shapes, but this calculator specifically computes the volume of triangular prisms.
Any consistent unit of measurement can be used (e.g., cm, m, inches), as long as all dimensions are in the same unit.
