find the volume of a triangular prism in php

To find the volume of a triangular prism in PHP, you need to know the length of the base, the height and the length of the prism. The formula to calculate the volume of a triangular prism is:

main.php
V = 1/2 * b * h * l
20 chars
2 lines

Where V is the volume of the prism, b is the length of the base, h is the height and l is the length of the prism.

To calculate the volume in PHP, you can create a function that takes the necessary parameters and returns the calculated volume. Here's an example of such a function:

main.php
function volumeOfTriangularPrism($base, $height, $length) {
    $volume = 0.5 * $base * $height * $length;
    return $volume;
}
129 chars
5 lines

You can then call the function with the appropriate values to calculate the volume. For example:

main.php
$base = 5;
$height = 8;
$length = 10;

$volume = volumeOfTriangularPrism($base, $height, $length);
echo "The volume of the triangular prism is: " . $volume;
157 chars
7 lines

This should output:

main.php
The volume of the triangular prism is: 200
43 chars
2 lines

where the base is 5, height is 8, and length is 10.
