What is the formula for the area of a scalane triangular prism?

1 Answer

Volume=ds(sa)(sb)(sc)
where d is the length of the prism,
a,b,c are the lengths of the 3 sides of the scalene triangle,
and s is the semi-perimeter of the scalene triangle (i.e. a+b+c2)

Explanation:

I assume you meant "volume" and not "area" since a prism is a 3-D construct.

s(sa)(sb)(sc) is Heron's formula for the area of a triangle with sides a,b,c
