x, length
y, width
z, height
xyz=216, all three dimensions are variables.

xy is the base area. You have no values other than the volume.

z=216%2F%28xy%29

highlight_green%28bhH+=+432%29, where:

b is: base of triangular base

h is: height of triangular base

H is: height of prism

Any combination of these 3 measurements with a product of 432 will allow you to construct a triangular prism 

with a volume of 216 cubic units
