How do you find the length of a triangle?

1. The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , is used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.
2. In a right triangle, one of the angles has a value of 90 degrees.
3. The longest side of a right triangle is called the hypotenuse, and it is the side that is opposite the 90 degree angle.

How do you find the volume for a triangular prism?

(Close to solving an Trangular or use an example or the an defenition that works.)

1. Remember the formula for calculating volume is: Volume = Area by height. V = A X h.
2. For a triangle the area is calculated using the formula: Area = half of base by altitude. A = 0.5 X b X a.
3. So to calculate the volume of a triangular prism, the formula is: V = 0.5 X b X a X h.

What is the formula for finding the surface area of a triangular prism? ( find a close enough anserw to this)

Triangular prisms have their own formula for finding surface area because they have two triangular faces opposite each other. The formula A=12bh is used to find the area of the top and bases triangular faces, where A = area, b = base, and h = height.

What is the volume of this triangular pyramid calculator?

A triangular pyramid that has equilateral triangles as its faces is called a regular tetrahedron. The volume of a tetrahedron with side of length a can be expressed as: V = a³ * √2 / 12 , which is approximately equal to V = 0.12 * a³ .

What is triangular prism net?

(BONUS give 15 Hawk bucks for the correct answer)

The net of a triangular prism is a pattern that is seen when the surface of the prism is opened, flattened, and laid out such that all the faces are seen clearly. It is two-dimensional. This net can be folded up to make a triangular prism.
