Yes!
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the base (A) by the height of the prism (h). V = Ah
\n" ); document.write( "Since your prism is a triangular prism you would multiply the area of the triangular base by the prism's height.
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the triangular base is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29bh\" where; b = the length of the base of the triangle (b = 3) and h = the triangle's height (h = 4).
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%283%29%284%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+6\" sq.in.
\n" ); document.write( "Now you can find the volume using the initial formula V = Ah
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+6%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+30\"cu.in.
\n" ); document.write( "
