This video shows the volume of a triangular prism in two ways; the first shows how we can divide a rectangular prism into two (2) pieces by cutting it vertically into two triangular prisms and thus we can do the same to the formula. We also look at the area of the base and how we get the area of a triangle to help guide us to the volume.
