Find the volume of this triangular prism. base 3, width 2, height 4 Type number answer only.

V = (lwh)/2

V = (3 * 2 * 4)/2

V = 24/2

V = 12 cubic units

i don't get it

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

First, let's calculate the area of the triangular base. The formula for the area of a triangle is (base × height) / 2.

In this case, the base of the triangle is 3 and the height is 2. So, the area of the triangular base is (3 × 2) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3.

Next, we multiply the area of the triangular base by the height of the prism, which is 4.

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 3 × 4 = 12.

Hence, the volume of the triangular prism is 12.
