Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the volume of a triangular prism you need 2 things:
The triangles area and the prism's height.
Any prism's volume can be calculated by multiplying its base area with its height.
The Area of a triangle can be calculated in different ways.
The most used and "normal" way is:
(width * height) / 2
Another way is by using herons formula, which looks like this:
a, b, c = different sides of the triangle (length)
s = (a + b + c) / 2
a = [tex]\sqrt{s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]
When you have the prism's base area ([tex]b_{a}[/tex]) you just have to multiply:
[tex]b_{a}*h=V[/tex]
(V = volume)
