Before asking a question, you should always check your notes, If you do not, I think the top is Bxh and then everything is HxL
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. This formula accounts for the two faces of each dimension (length, width, and height) on the rectangular prism.

I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
its not i dont no why
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, use the formula ( SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh ), where ( l ) is the length, ( w ) is the width, and ( h ) is the height of the prism. This formula calculates the area of all six rectangular faces. Simply plug in the dimensions of the prism to compute the total surface area.
Formula: S = 2B + L
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?
Depends whether you want the formula for surface area, volume, perimeter, size of sphere it would fit into etc... Please clarify next time.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
Surface area = 2LW + 2(L+W)H
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.
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...
