find the volume of a triangular prism in rust

// Tags: rust, geometry, math, functions, triangles

// This function calculates the volume of a triangular prism fn calculate_volume(base: f64, height: f64, length: f64) -> f64 { let area = 0.5 * base * height; let volume = area * length; return volume; }

// Example usage fn main() { let base = 5.0; let height = 3.0; let length = 7.0;

main.rs
let volume = calculate_volume(base, height, length);

Explanation of the code:
- The function `calculate_volume` takes in the base, height, and length of the prism as parameters.
- It uses the formula for the area of a triangle to calculate the area of the base (`area = 0.5 * base * height`).
- It then multiplies the base area by the length to get the total volume of the prism (`volume = area * length`).
- The `main` function uses the `calculate_volume` function to find the volume of a triangular prism with base 5, height 3, and length 7.
