Input
Enter the base edge and the height to compute the volume, base area, lateral area, and surface area of a regular triangular prism.
Result
Volume
155.884573
Base area
15.588457
Lateral area
180
Surface area
211.176915
Length uses the same unit as the input, while area is squared and volume is cubed.
How it works
- This tool covers a regular triangular prism whose base is an equilateral triangle. Let a be the base edge and h be the height of the prism.
- The base area is B equals square root of 3 divided by 4 times a squared, the area formula for an equilateral triangle.
- The volume is V equals B times h equals square root of 3 divided by 4 times a squared times h.
- The lateral area is L equals 3 times a times h, the three equal rectangular sides.
- The surface area is S equals 2B plus L, the two bases plus the lateral faces.
- Length uses the same unit as the input, while area is squared and volume is cubed.
