# Do you have to multiply all the numbers to find the volume of a prism?

###### Wiki User

No, that will not give you the volume of a prism (since it's a triangular shape, not cuboid). For volume of a prism, you need to find the area of one of the end triangles, then multiply by the length of the prism.
