the volume formula is length x height x width , the prism has 8 equal sides so

shizzie is wrong, that calculation stands for a box, you must calculate each face and sum it up.

Lol, I know what I'm talking about and a rectangular prism is a box. Why would you add up anything? It's one constant surface. You are right to have l x w x h but that's it.

Only for surface area do you sum up the sides :)

No problem! I wouldn't have answered the triangular prism question lol. That formula is gone...lol
