Rep Power: 0 To calculate the volume of a triangle box, start with standard volume calc.
(L * W * H) then divide that total by 2, cause the triangle is half of the cube.
To answer the second part, to get a triangle to match the volume of a certain cube volume, it would be bigger. Because a triangle is only half of the cube.

Better yet, just get a Bazooka. They sound great and don't take up much room.

That would only work if at least one corner is at a 90° angle. If there's no 90° angles, you'd have to use one of these formulas.
