What is the perimeter formula for a triangular prism?
There is no way to find perimeter from a 3D figure. However, you can find the perimeter of a side of a triangular prism by using perimeter formulas for a parallelogram or triangle.
How do you find the surface of a triangular prism?
The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.

How do you find the perimeter of a triangular prism?
Side1 + Side2 + Side3
How do you find the base if a triangular prism?
okay, to find the base of a triangular prism you just b = 2a/h (base = 2 * area/height)
How do you measure the surface of a triangular prism?
When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.
How do you find perimeter of the base of a rectangular prism?
12 the base times the height
How do you find the perimeter of a base of a rectangular prism?
12 the base times the height
Formula for volume of triangular prism?
To find the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of the triangles (base of the prism) first (base x height divided by 2). When you have the area of the triangle, then multiply the area of the triangle by the height of the prism, *not the height of the base.
How do you find the lateral area of a triangular prism?
The lateral area of a triangular prism is found by computing the perimeter of the triangular base (sum of the three sides) and multiplying it by the height of the prism. If the triangular base has sides of length s1, s2, and s3, and the height of the prism is h, then each lateral face of the prism would be a rectangle. The area of one face of the prism would be (s1 x h), the area of the second face of the prism would be (s2 x h), and the area of the third face of the prism would be (s3 x h). So the three lateral faces would have a total area of (s1 x h) + (s2 x h) + (s3 x h), or equivalently (s1 + s2 + s3) x h; i.e., (the perimeter of the triangular base) x (the height of the prism).
How do you find surface area of a triangular prisim?
2*area of triangular faces + perimeter of triangle*length of prism (not prisim).
