Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the base P is the perimeter of the base)
OR
Surface Area= 1/2(B x h)(2) + (s1+s2+s3)h
OR
Surface Area= (B x h) + (s1+s2+s3)h
B= Base.
H= Height.
s1, s2, s3= Basically the perimeter of the base.
Remember: the base of a triangular prism is not always on the bottom.

the defnition of find the surface area of triangular prism and cylinder
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.
Surface area of the triangle x the length of the prism.
V = base area × height
The volume of any prism is worked out in the same way whether it's a hexagonal prism, circular prism or a triangular prism. You just need to times the length of the prism against the area of the cross-section.
