What is another name for a triangular based prism?

You can call it a "triangular prism" rather than "triangular based prism" ... saying a prism is "triangular" imply that the base is a triangle. There's no other name that I know of. A prism is just a 3d shape, so all you have to say is <type of shape> + prism to get the point across.

What is the surface area of each triangular prism 10 10 10 12 8.7 cm?

It is not possible to answer the question. A right triangular prism has sides of only four different lengths : the 3 sides of the triangular cross-section and the length of the prism. There are 5 lengths in the question. Even if there were only four lengths in the question, it is necessary to know which the sides of the triangle are and which the length is.
