Question

How do you find Volume in 3d polygons?

Answer 1

do you mean prisms?

Answer 2

Yes! Sorry, I am a little off today.

Answer 3

Volume = cross-sectional area x height

Answer 4

for any prism, it's the area of the base*height. for example, triangular prism:

take the area of the triangle and multiply it by height.

Answer 5

Finding area is length * width right?

Answer 6

depends on the shape of the "base" of the prism.... in my example, the base is a triangle. you'll need to find the area of the triangle.

Answer 7

I'm not sure on how to find area in a triangle. Length * Width /2?

Answer 8

area of a triangle is (1/2)*base*height, where height is always perpendiuclar to the base.
