Formula for the volume of a prism is Area of the Base x height

 

In the instant case Base is an equilateral triangle with each side being 4 cms. Its area will be = (4)2 √3 / 4 

    = 4√3 cms

 

Hence Volume of prism = 4√3 x 8 cm3

                                       = 32√3 cm3  Or 55.425 cm3
