Volume of Rectangular and Triangular Prisms

In this topic, we learn to calculate the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms.

Topic: Volume of a Rectangular Prism

  • Volume is the number of cubic units needed to fill a space

  • Volume can be found by counting the number or cubes in a figure

  • Volume of a prism = Area of the base x Height

  • Volume of a rectangular prism = Length x Width x height

Topic: Volume of a Triangular Prism

  • Volume is the number of cubic units needed to fill a space

  • Volume of a prism = Area of the base x Height

  • Area of a triangle = 1/2 x Base x Height
