The answer give by "The Community", below is mindblowingly irrelevant. Oh, well, that is the kind of rubbish that we, at Answers, have to put up with - in the name of Wiki!
If the length, breadth and height of a rectangular prism are represented by L, B and H, then
Surface area = 2*(L+B + B*H + H*L) square units.
To prove that two lines cut by a transversal are parallel, one must show that
volume equals pie R squared

Yet another howler from "The Community".
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(wh + lw + lh), where w is width, h is height, and l is length. 3.14 is the value for pi, which is only used for circular objects, like circles, cylinders, and spheres. It has nothing to do with rectangular prisms. Click on the related link below for an illustration of the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism.
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
LxWx2
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
its not i dont no why

surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
Volume = (length) times (width) x (height)
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
A rectangular pyramid you use 1/3 or divide 3 in the product but a triangular prism you use 1/2 or divide 2 on the product.
Find the height. I believe thats how you solve it.
