Volume of Triangular Prisms

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a triangular prism?

Back

V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism.

Front

What does 'B' represent in the volume formula V = B x h?

Back

B stands for the area of the base of the prism.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = \frac{1}{2} x b x h, where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is a triangle with a base of 4 in and a height of 3 in, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area = \frac{1}{2} x 4 x 3 = 6 in^2.

Front

What is the height of a triangular prism?

Back

The height of a triangular prism is the perpendicular distance between the two triangular bases.

Front

How do you find the volume of a triangular prism if you know the area of the base and the height?

Back

Multiply the area of the base (B) by the height (h): V = B x h.

Front

What shape is the base of a triangular prism?

Back

The base of a triangular prism is a triangle.

Front

If a triangular prism has a height of 10 in and a base area of 12 in², what is its volume?

Back

Volume = B x h = 12 in² x 10 in = 120 in³.

Front

What is the relationship between the area of the base and the volume of a prism?

Back

The volume of a prism is directly proportional to the area of its base.

Front

What units are used to measure the volume of a prism?

Back

Volume is measured in cubic units, such as cubic inches (in³), cubic centimeters (cm³), etc.
