Triangular Prism:
(Breadth x Height) + (3 x Length x Breadth)
Square Pyramid:
(2 x Breadth x Height) + (Breadth x Breadth)
Cylinder:
(2 x Pi x radius x Length) + (2 x Pi x Radius x Radius)
Cone:
(Pi x Radius x Height) + (Pi x Radius x Radius)
Sphere:
Pi x Radius x Radius x 4

To calculate the surface area of the equilateral triangular-based prism, you need to calculate the area of the equilateral triangle and all the other sides of the prism. The total area of all the phases will give the total surface are of an equilateral triangular based prism.
Surface area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
To calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. You need to know the dimensions of the prism to find the total surface area. If you provide the specific measurements, I can help you calculate it further.
Find the area of each face separately and then add them together for the total surface area.
Formula: S = 2B + L
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
You can think of a square prism as a die, having six sides. So you need the length of one side, 's'. That side's [surface] area is s2 With six sides, the cube's surface area is simply: 6s2
To find the lateral surface area of a hexagonal prism, first calculate the perimeter of the hexagonal base (P) by adding the lengths of all six sides. Then, multiply the perimeter by the height (h) of the prism using the formula: Lateral Surface Area = P × h. This gives you the area of the sides of the prism that connect the two hexagonal bases.
Please be specific: Are you referring to surface area, volume? the length of one side?
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
The surface area of a prism is the two bases and all the sides A = 2 *area of base + Perimeter of base * Height of prism.
