You can put this solution on YOUR website! Triangular Prism Formula: Area of Base(A) = 1/2 * a * b
 Perimeter of Base(P) = s1 + s2 + s3
 Surface Area of Prism = ab + (s1 + s2 + s3)h = ab + Ph
 Volume of Prism = 1/2 * a * b * h = Ah
 where
 a = altitude, b = base, h = height and s1, s2, s3 are sides
