Formula:
The volume of a regular polygonal prism is calculated by multiplying the area of its polygonal base by its height. This calculator focuses on prisms with regular polygonal bases.
Formula for Area of a Regular Polygon Base (A):
A = (n × s2) / (4 × tan(π/n))Where:
n= Number of sides of the regular polygons= Length of each side of the polygonπ= Pi (approximately 3.14159)tan= Tangent function (angles in radians)
Formula for Volume of a Regular Polygonal Prism (V):
V = A × hWhere:
A= Area of the polygonal baseh= Height of the prism
The units of the volume will be the cube of the input unit (e.g., if side length and height are in centimeters, volume will be in cubic centimeters).
