- Definition of Triangular Prism
- Properties of Triangular-based Prism
- Lateral Surface Area of a Triangular Prism
- Total Surface Area of a Triangular Prism
- Volume of a Triangular Prism
A triangular prism is a 3-D shape that has two identical triangular bases joined together by three rectangular sides. These rectangular faces are called the lateral or curved faces of a triangular prism. The triangular bases are also referred to as the top and bottom faces of the prism.
The ends of the prism are parallel, meaning they’re the same distance apart all the way along. And they’re also congruent, which means they’re the same shape and size.
Properties of Triangular-based Prism:
- It has 5 faces.
- 2 faces are triangular bases, and the other 3 are rectangular sides.
- It has 6 vertices (corner points).
- It has 9 edges.
- Congruent Bases: The two triangular bases are identical to each other, indicating their congruence.
- Any cross-section of a triangular prism cut along its base forms a triangle.
Lateral Surface Area of a Triangular Prism:
The lateral or curved surface area (L.S.A.) is the sum of the area of all of the faces except for the 2 parallel triangular bases
