Select a 3D prism shape to calculate volume, surface area, and step-by-step formulas.

Solve for volume, surface area, diagonal, and missing dimensions with 3-variable solver.

V = l \cdot w \cdot h

Calculate cubic prism edge, volume, total area, and space diagonal given any single parameter.

V = a^3, \; S = 6a^2

Solve equilateral, right-angled, and scalene prisms via base-height or Heron’s theorem.

V = \frac{1}{2} b h_b H

Specialized Metrics

Solve directly for a specific property across multiple prism types simultaneously.

V = B \cdot H
