Wall Prism

Home » Virtual Sites » Wall Prism

The wall’s wedge sectors were in the shape of trapezoidal prisms. It was assumed that all of the sectors are the same width across and height throughout, but the lengths vary for each sector. The minimum and maximum estimations of the length and volume of each sector can be found in the charts below.

Volume and Area of the Wall Prism

The area of the cross section was found using the following information. It was assumed that the top, bottom and height of each sector were the same:

T(top) B(bottom) H(height)
Cross Section (area) = H*(B + T)/2

The volume of each sector was found by multiplying the area of the cross section and the length of each sector, which are found in the charts below.
(Area of Cross Section * Length)
