The volume of a triangular prism is given by:
v = ½ |a • b x c|
Where b and c are two of the sides of the triangular face of the prism, and a is the length of the prism.
The volume of a rectangular/parallelogram-based pyramid is given by:
V = ⅓ |a • b x c|
My question is, what are a, b, and c?
Is it necessary, in general, that b and c be the lengths of two of the sides of the base?
