Measuring 2D triangles
There are two ways to measure triangles:
Perimeter (add up all sides a b c)
Area (1/2 Base x Height)
Triangular Prisms
Two ways to Measure Triangular Prisms:
Volume (area of triangle x length)
Surface Area (find area of all sides add
together)
Triangular pyramid
Two ways to measure triangular pyramids:
Volume (1/3BH)
Surface Area (find area of all sides add
together)
