Volume of Skewed Three Edged Prism is the total quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the surface of the Skewed Three Edged Prism. It represents the capacity of this geometric shape.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume by taking the average of the three different heights multiplied by the base area, divided by 3.
Details: Calculating the volume of a skewed three-edged prism is important in various engineering, architectural, and geometric applications where this specific shape is encountered.
Tips: Enter the base area in square meters and all three height measurements in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What is a skewed three-edged prism?
A: A skewed three-edged prism is a polyhedron with two parallel triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces that are not perpendicular to the bases.
Q2: Why are there three different height measurements?
A: Because the prism is skewed, each of the three edges has a different vertical height measurement from the base to the top face.
Q3: Can this formula be used for regular prisms?
A: For a regular (right) prism where all heights are equal, the formula simplifies to the standard volume formula: base area × height.
Q4: What units should I use for the measurements?
A: The calculator uses meters for length measurements and square meters for area, but the formula works with any consistent unit system.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact for the given formula, assuming precise input measurements.
