Exploring the Volume of Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of different types of prisms, including triangular and rectangular prisms. It covers the formula for volume, which involves multiplying the area of the base by the height of the prism. The tutorial provides examples with specific measurements to demonstrate the calculation process for both triangular and rectangular prisms, emphasizing the importance of understanding the shape of the base and using the correct formula for area.

What is the formula to calculate the volume of any prism?

• Volume = Base Area - Height

• Volume = (Base Area x Height) / 2

• Volume = Base Area x Height

• Volume = Base Area + Height

Which prism uses the formula 'base area x height' to calculate volume?

• Cylindrical Prism

• Triangular Prism

• All of the above

• Rectangular Prism

How do you find the area of a triangle?

• Base + Height

• Base x Height

• Base x Height / 2

• 2 x (Base + Height)

What is the area of a triangular base with sides of 10 cm each?
