    Volume of a Prism Formula

    Result

    1/4 h n s^2 cot(π/n)≈0.25 h n s^2 cot(3.14159/n)
(assuming n base vertices, base edge length s, and height h)

    Visual representation

    
(drawn with base edge length 1, 11 base vertices, and height 2)

    Properties of n-prism

    volume | 1/4 h n s^2 cot(π/n)≈0.25 h n s^2 cot(3.14159/n)
lateral surface area | h n s
base area | 1/4 n s^2 cot(π/n)≈0.25 n s^2 cot(3.14159/n)
surface area | n s (h + 1/2 s cot(π/n))≈n s (h + 0.5 s cot(3.14159/n))
(assuming n base vertices, base edge length s, and height h)
