What is a right triangular prism look like?
f you looked at the bottom of a pyramid and saw a right triangle it would be a right triangular prism. It would have 3 triangular faces extending up from the bottom. The last sentence refers to a right tetrahedron, not a prism. A triangular prism has two triangles at either end, and three rectangles joining them - like a pencil with a triangular cross-section.
How do you measure the surface of a triangular prism?
When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.
How do you find the lateral area of a triangular prism?
The lateral area of a triangular prism is found by computing the perimeter of the triangular base (sum of the three sides) and multiplying it by the height of the prism. If the triangular base has sides of length s1, s2, and s3, and the height of the prism is h, then each lateral face of the prism would be a rectangle. The area of one face of the prism would be (s1 x h), the area of the second face of the prism would be (s2 x h), and the area of the third face of the prism would be (s3 x h). So the three lateral faces would have a total area of (s1 x h) + (s2 x h) + (s3 x h), or equivalently (s1 + s2 + s3) x h; i.e., (the perimeter of the triangular base) x (the height of the prism).

What is a net for a triangular prism?
if you really wanted to find out then you would have to:go to Google.comtype in this question: What is a net for a triangular prisim(or prisim)... depending on how you want to spell it.you then have the answer... if not then ur outta luck gotta gohahahahaha. thanksl8er
Would tripling the height of a triangular prism triple its volume?
If you triplied the height of a triangular prism, would that triple it volume
What is the volume of prism with 2 cm length 3 cm widht and a 4cm height?
It depends what shape the prism is ! A cuboid prism would be 24 cm3 - while a triangular prism with those measurements would be half the volume.
Is there a essayer why to do surface area of triangular prism?
A surface area would be vital for determining volume
How do you fin the volume of any prism?
Find the surface area of the top or bottom face and multiply that by the depth of the prism. For example, a triangular prism would have a volume of (1/2 * base * height) * (depth)
What is the formula for calulating the volume and the area of a triangular prism and a triangle?
Volume of a Triangular PrismVolume= 0.5(area of the base)(distance between 2 faces)Answer:Volume of a triangular prism = (area of the base) (perpendicular distance between the 2 bases of the prism)Since it is a triangular prism, the base of the prism is triangle in shape.Let b be the base of the triangle and h be the height of the triangle.Area of the triangle = 1/2 b*h or b*h/2.Let the Perpendicular distance between the two bases of the prism be l units.Then the volume of the triangular prism = (1/2)*b*h*lVolume = 1/2*b*h*l cubic units.So basically the formula is base times height then divided by two. (Only for the triangle.)For example, if one triangle's height is 6 and height is 11, then it would be like this:6 x 11= 66, divided by two = 33.
How many circular bases triangular prism?
None. By definition, a triangular prism has triangular bases. If it had circular bases it would be a circular prism (cylinder).
What are some differences between rectangular and triangular prisms?
The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
Find the volume of a square prism whose base edges are 14 inches and has a height of 8 inches?
The volume formula of a square prism is a^3. The specifications given will not allow for the square prism formula to be used. Instead, it would require using the rectangular prism formula which is abc. With the given specifications, the formula would be 14 x14 x 8. The solution would be 1,568 inches^3.
What are the parallel bases of a triangular prism?
The parallel bases would be the two triangular faces, on either end of the prism.
What look like a triangular prism?
a piece of a very thick cake would be in the shape of a triangular prism so if you take a thick cake and cut it into regular sized pieces, the shapes of the pieces would be triangular prism
