When finding the volume of a triangular prism, we multiply the area of the base x the height of the prism. Find the volume of the triangular prism. 3cm 3cm 2cm
To find the volume of a triangular prism, we first need to determine the area of the triangular base.
The formula for the area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height.
In this case, the base of the triangular prism is 3 cm and the height is 2 cm, so the area of the triangular base is 0.5 x 3 x 2 = 3 square cm.
Next, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism to find the volume.
Volume = area of base x height
Volume = 3 x 2
Volume = 6 cubic cm
Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 6 cubic cm.
