The Triangle Volume calculator computes the volume of a triangular /attachments/e8557ebc-f17a-11e3-b7aa-bc764e2038f2/TrianglarVolume-illustration.png Triangular Volume shaped object (such as a prism) given the length the triangle's three sides and the height (h) of the area.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(a) Length Side a
(b) Length Side b
(c) Length Side c
(h) Height of Triangular Shape

Triangle Volume (V): The volume is returned in cubic meters. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

Volume of a uniformed shaped object such as an octagon column is derived by the following formula:

Volume = Area * Height

Where the Area of Triangle based on the length of three sides is:

$Area = sqrt((a+b+c)/2((a+b+c)/2-a)((a+b+c)/2-b)((a+b+c)/2-c))$

where:

a, b, c are the length of the three sides
