Triangular prism

In geometry, a triangular prism is a three-sided prism; it is a polyhedron made of a triangular base, a translated copy, and 3 faces joining corresponding sides. A right triangular prism has rectangular sides, otherwise it is oblique. A uniform triangular prism is a right triangular prism with equilateral bases, and square sides. Equivalently, it is a polyhedron of which two faces are parallel, while the surface normals of the other three are in the same plane (which is not necessarily parallel to the base planes). These three faces are parallelograms. All cross-sections parallel to the base faces are the same triangle. (Wikipedia).

Volume of a Triangular Prism

This geometry video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a triangular prism using a simple formula. The volume is equal to the product of the area of the base and the height of the prism. The base is the area of a triangle - it could be a right triangle, an isosceles triangle
