How do you find the volume of prisms

Question

im in 7th grade doing math makeup work and need help with prisims plz help meeeee plz #HHHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPME

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a prism is:  V= (Area _Base)(height).  There are different types of prisms with different types of bases.  For example, a cube has a square as its base, with Area_base=s² so the volume of a cube is V=(s²)(height).  For a rectangular prism, the volume formula is V=[(length)(width)](height).

Hi, Ryan.

 

Do you have any specific examples which you need help with?  Different prisms require different formulas to solve for their areas.
