1		volume =
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

2		volume =
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 in)(3in) = 3 in² V = Triangle Area × width = 3 in² × 4 in = 12in³

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)(3 in)(6in) = 9 in² V = Triangle Area × width = 9 in² × 3 in = 27in³

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)(4 cm)(7cm) = 14 cm² V = Triangle Area × width = 14 cm² × 4 cm = 56cm³
