Volume of Rectangular and Triangular Prisms

1. What is the formula you would use to find the area of a rectangle?

2. What is the formula you would use to find the area of a triangle?

Volume is the amount of space a 3- dimensional shape takes up.

Volume is always represented in  $units^3$  .

 - A rectangular prism is a 3-dimensional solid that has two congruent and parallel faces that are rectangles.

- $V=\ Bh\ or\ V=l\cdot w\cdot h$  

- A triangular prism is a 3- dimensional figure that has 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular ones.

- $V=\ Bh\ or\ V=\frac{b\cdot h\cdot l}{2}$
