## Quick Answer

Find the volume and surface area of a triangular prism. Enter the triangle base, height, and prism length to compute the volume. Optional side inputs compute surface area.

## Definition

A triangular prism calculator is a geometry utility that computes the volume and surface area of a 3D prism with a triangular cross-section. The volume is calculated as the base area of the triangle (0.5 * base * height) multiplied by the length of the prism. If the remaining two side lengths of the triangular base are provided, the calculator determines the surface area by adding the areas of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular faces.

## How to Use

1. **Enter base dimensions** — Input the triangle's base and height in the respective fields.
2. **Enter prism length** — Type the length of the prism.
3. **Optional: Enter remaining sides** — Input the other two sides of the triangle to calculate the total surface area.
