what is the volume formula of a triangular prism?
other than this formula: V=1/2 (w)(L)(h)
V=1/2 (w)(L)(h)
This formula is for right triangular prism.
If the triangular base is just any triangle, then formula is
Area of triangle * length of prism
Area of any triangle can be known if the lengths of three sides, a, b, and c are known. Formula for area of traingle is
Δ = √[ s (s - a) (s - b) ( s - c) ],
where s = semiperimeter = (1/2)*(a + b + c)
1/2 (bh) l
