The volume of a right triangular prism is actually the space bounded by the prism, that is, the space the prism "occupies" in space. The volume of the prism is calculated by multiplying the area of one of the bases of the prism (since both are equal), by the height of the prism.

To better understand, let's look at a simple example. In the following drawing, there is a right triangular prism:
The area of each base of the right triangular prism is cm².
The height of the prism is cm.
The volume of the prism can be calculated by placing the data in the formula:
Therefore, the volume of the prism is cm³.
