Solution
The volume of a triangular prism is the area
of the triangle times the length perpendicular to the triangle. In our case,
the length perpendicular to the triangle is the width. Area of triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(length)(height) = (1/2)(2 cm)(2cm) = 2 cm2 V = Triangle Area × width = 2 cm2 × 2 cm = 4cm3
