What is a triangular prism?
It's a shape made by wrapping two triangles with parallel faces as the top and bottom faces. A triangular prism, also known as a triangular polyhedron, is a polyhedron that has a triangle base and rectangles as the lateral faces.
How many edges does a triangular prism have?
A triangular prism is composed of 9 edges. Three each form the bottom and top faces. The rest forms the lateral faces.
How many faces do a triangular prism have?
Triangular prisms have five faces: a top and base face and three lateral faces.
How many vertices do a triangular prism have?
A triangular prism contains six vertices. That is three on each side of the triangular faces.
What is a prism?
It is a solid object that you can rely on:
Two identical bases
Three rectangular faces (right prism) or parallelogram form (oblique prism).
The same cross-section throughout its entire length
The term triangular prism describes the right triangular lens. This is a widespread practice.
Formulas for triangular prisms
The triangular prism volume (or its surface area) is usually what you need to calculate. These are the two most fundamental equations:
volume = 0.5 * b * h * length
b: length of the base of the triangle
h: height of the triangle
length: prism length
area = length * ( a + b + c ) + (2 * base area)
a, b, c: sides of the triangle
base area: triangular base area
The surface area of the triangular prism
The most popular formula for calculating the surface area of a solid is the one that takes three sides of a triangular base.
area = length * ( a + b + c ) + ( 2 * base area ) = length * base perimeter + ( 2 * base area)
