How Do You Find the Volume of a Triangular Prism?
Note:
Finding the volume of a triangular prism isn't so bad, especially if you already know the length and height of the base and the height of the prism. In this tutorial, you'll see how to use that information and the formula for the volume of a triangular prism to get the answer. Take a look!
Background Tutorials
-
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
-
How Do You Evaluate an Algebraic Expression?
Plugging variables into an expression is essential for solving many algebra problems. See how to plug in variable values by watching this tutorial.
-
What is a Variable?
You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!
-
What's the Order of Operations?
Check out this tutorial where you'll see exactly what order you need to follow when you simplify expressions. You'll also see what happens when you don't follow these rules, and you'll find out why order of operations is so important!
