Would the surface area of a triangular prism stay the same even if the dimensions were different?

No. There is no reason for the surface area of all triangular prisms to be the same always. For example, increasing the length of the prism only adds area; there is nothing to counteract this increase, so the area must be different.
The same applies to all prisms and 3-dimensional objects: changing the dimensions can alter the area.

Is there a essayer why to do surface area of triangular prism?
A surface area would be vital for determining volume
What is the surface area of the visible sides of a rectangular pyramid?
The number of visible sides if one if viewed from the front or side. The elevation from an angular position would give two face whereas all four triangular faces will be visible from above. So the answer will depend on the viewing position. In every case, the dimensions of the triangles would be required to find the visible surface area.
What is the formula to work out the surface area of a pyramid?
If it is a triangular pyramid it would be (1/2bh)4 A triangular prism is (1/2bh)5, or (base x height divided by 2)times 4
What is a real-world situation in which you would find the surface area of a cylinder?
You would need to know the surface area of a cylinder if you are a factory worker at Pepsi. You would need to know the dimensions of the label, so it will fit on the can.
What would the dimensions of two rectangular prisms that have the same surface area be?
It could be anything.... the question needs to be more specific.
What would you call A Triangle Were that Exists In Three Dimensions?
would call that a triangular pyramid.

What is the total surface area of a triangular prism?
you would have to add all the different areas of each side together to get the surface area. the formula though, would be side area times three, plus the base
If the dimensions of a solid are measured in feet then the surface area of the solid would be measured in?
Then the surface area of the solid would be measured in square feet

What are the dimensions on step bar brackets for a truck?
Each make and model truck would have different dimensions.
Which of the types of map would best show the three dimensions of the earths surface?
Topographic map.
What is the difference between total surface area and lateral surface area?
total surface area is all of the area. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the square on the bottom and the four triangle sides lateral surface area is all the surface area EXCEPT the base. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the four sides of the pyramid. the bottom square is NOT included. for a triangular prism it would be the area of the three rectangle sides, NOT the two triangular sides
What are some differences between rectangular and triangular prisms?
The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
