Each edge of a regular triangular prism is 2 cm. Find the volume of the prism.

The volume of the correct prism is the base area (S) times the height (h). In this case, h = 2, since all the edges are equal to 2. And at the base is an equilateral triangle with side 2. Let’s find its area.

The area of the triangle is half the base to the height. The base is 2. The height in an equilateral triangle is the base times √3 and divided by 2.

2 * √3 / 2. We get √3.

Then the area is 0.5 * 2 * √3. When canceling, we again get S = √3.

Now multiply S by h: √3 * 2 = 2√3 (cm3).
