Triangular Prism

Volume and surface area of triangular prisms

Triangular Prism Calculator

Enter the three sides of the triangular base and the prism length.

A triangular prism has two parallel triangular faces (bases) connected by three rectangular faces. Volume = base area × length; Surface area = perimeter × length + 2 × base area. It appears in architecture, optics, and packaging.

💡

Tip: Volume of any prism = base area × height (length). This works for triangular, rectangular, hexagonal — any shape base. Just find the cross-sectional area and multiply by the length.

  1. 1V = (1/2 × b × h_triangle) × L (where L = prism length)
  2. 2SA = (b + s₁ + s₂) × L + 2 × (1/2 × b × h_triangle)
  3. 3For right triangular prism with sides a, b, c and length L:
  4. 4SA = (a + b + c) × L + base area × 2
Triangle base 6, height 4, prism length 10=V = 120 cubic units(0.5×6×4)×10 = 12×10 = 120

Fun Fact

Glass prisms split white light into a rainbow (spectrum) because different wavelengths refract at slightly different angles (dispersion). Isaac Newton used a prism in 1666 to prove that white light is a combination of all colors.
