I have a triangular prism, and I have all the measurments of the base shape, except the length of the entire triangular prism. I also have the volume. Is there a certain formula, or do you have to rearrange one?

Question

yup there is

lgbasallote · Answer

$$V = \frac 13 \times (\frac{bh}{2} ) \times l$$
where v = volume
b = base of triangle 
h is height of triangle
l is the length of the prism

The side with the x, I dont have, but the side with the ticks I do

lgbasallote · Answer

you have to manipulate the formula i gave

lgbasallote · Answer

$$V = \frac{bh}{2} \times l$$
$$2V = bhl$$
$$\frac{2V}{bh} = l$$
