The applet below lets you build a right triangular prism with the specifications listed.
The volume is determined in a similar way to the volume of a parallelogram, meaning the area of the base x height. For this shape, we think of the base being the triangle.
Play with the sliders to change the dimensions, calculate the volume and then verify your calculations with the applet.
