Volume of a Triangular Prism
At about the 4:09 mark, the teacher says each one of these slices has an area of 6; he should have said they have a volume of 6.
In this lesson, the instructor teaches how to find the volume of a triangular prism. First, they explain what a prism is and how it has two bases. Then, they demonstrate how to find the area of the base of a triangular prism by multiplying the base by the height and dividing it by two. After finding the area of the base, they explain how to calculate the volume of the prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height. The instructor provides a clear and concise explanation with helpful examples.
Finding the volume or a triangular prism
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
