    Volume of prisms

    I totally suck as i've been off for 3 weeks.

    Right I have an Isosoles (sp?) triangle. The height is 24m , width 20 m , length 30m and one side of the triangle is 26m

    Anyone help?

    easy, base volume x length so its: (26x26x20)x 30= 1014m2

    (as long as the measurements and labels you typed are correct)

    Cross section=base volume

    Oh and I typed the formula wrong, It should be (1/2(24x20))x30=7200m2
