= (l ××w) ××H
Square Pris m
Volume square prism = A ××H
= (w ××l ) ××H
A = Area of the s quare base.
H = Hei ght of the prism.
s = Le ngth of the side.
Triangu lar Pris m
Volume triangular prism = A ××H
= ( b ××h) ××H
A = area of the triangle base (b ××h)
h = alt itude, or hei ght of the triangle.
H = hei ght of the prism.
Hexago nal Pris m
Volume hexagonal prism = A ××H
= (w ×× s) ××H
A = Area of the hexagonal base.
H = Hei ght of the prism.
Explain that the area for a hexagon is calculat-
ed as follows:
A = w ×× s
w = Width of hexagon as shown.
s = Le ngth of side.
