Answered by Raven
What is formula for calculating capacity of a prism
Answered by GPT 3.5
Capacity and volume are related concepts but are not exactly the same thing. Capacity generally refers to the amount a container can hold, while volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object or substance. In other words, capacity often refers to a specific container or vessel's maximum amount, while volume refers to the actual amount of space that a substance or object occupies.

The formula for calculating the capacity of a prism depends on the shape of the prism. For a rectangular prism, the formula is:

Capacity = length x width x height

For a triangular prism, the formula is:

Capacity = (1/2) x base x height x length

For other types of prisms with different shapes, you would need to adjust the formula accordingly based on the specific details of the prism.
