Volume of Prisms

The document discusses the formulas for calculating the volumes of different geometric prisms. It provides the formulas for finding the cross-sectional area and volume of cylinders, cuboids, trapezoid prisms, and triangular prisms. Examples are given for each shape calculating the cross-sectional area from the given dimensions and then using that area and the length to determine the volume. Readers are instructed to use a calculator and not round intermediate values for accurate results.
