Question 175471:  What is the formula to find the volume and the area of base on a triangular prism? 
 Answer by Mathtut(3670)      (Show Source): 
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
