Ex: If the height of the triangular base is 5 cm and the base of the triangular prism is 4 cm, then the area of the base is 1/2 x 5 cm x 4 cm, which is 10 cm2.

Ex:10 cm2 x 7 cm = 70 cm3

Ex: Length = 3 cm.

Ex: 3 cm3 = 3 cm.

  • 3 cm.
  • 3 cm. = 27 cm. 3

Ex: Length = 10 cm.

Ex: Width = in 8 cm.

Ex: Height = 5 cm.

Ex: 10 cm.

  • 8 cm.
  • 5 cm = 400 cm. 3

Let’s say base 1 = 8 cm, base 2 = 6 cm, and height = 10 cm. Ex: 1/2 x (6 + 8) x 10 = 1/2 x 14 cm x 10 cm = 70 cm2.

70 cm2 x 12 cm = 840 cm3.

A = 1/2 x 5 x side x apothem A = 1/2 x 5 x 6 cm x 7 cm = 105 cm2

105 cm2 x 10 cm = 1050 cm3
