Properties of regular triangular prism
A regular triangular prism consists of two congruent equilateral triangles as the base and top surfaces. These are parallel to each other and their vertices are connected by three parallel edges. This creates three equally sized rectangles or parallelograms as side surfaces.
Formulas for regular triangular prisms
Surface (\(\small{S}\))
\(\displaystyle S = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot a^2 + 3 \cdot a \cdot h\)
Base area (\(\small{A}\))
\(\displaystyle A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot a^2\)
Height (\(\small{h}\))
\(\displaystyle h= \frac{4 \cdot V}{\sqrt{3} \cdot a^2}\)
Volume (\(\small{V}\))
\(\displaystyle V= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot a^2 \cdot h\)
