Find the volume of the triangular prism

Unit 2 lesson 7

To find the volume of a triangular prism, you need to multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism.

Let's say the base of the triangular prism has a length of 6 units and a height of 4 units. The area of the base would be:

(1/2) x 6 x 4 = 12 square units

Now, let's say the height of the prism is 8 units. To find the volume, we would multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism:

12 x 8 = 96 cubic units

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 96 cubic units.
