Formula Volume of a Triangular Prism

This page examines the properties of a triangular prism.

The volume of a triangular prism can be found by multiplying the base times the height.

Both of the pictures of the Triangular prisms below illustrate the same formula. The formula, in general, is the area of the base (the red triangle in the picture on the left) times the height,h. The right hand picture illustrates the same formula.
