To find the area of a prism, you have to first find the area of the base and multiply it by 2 (because there are 2 bases). Then, find the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the height of the prism. Lastly, add the area of the bases and the perimeter x height value to get the area of the prism.
** if the prism is a cylinder, do the same thing, finding the area of the circles (bases) and multiplying the height x circumference.
the defnition of find the surface area of triangular prism and cylinder
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
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.
You will need to find the surface area of each face and add them together.
The Surface area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height The volume of a prism = area of its cross-section*length
Surface Area = 2 × Base Area + Base Perimeter × Length

Find the area of each face and add them all up.
It depends on the size of the triangular prism, but depending on the side of the prism you use the triangle area formula to find it or the rectangle area formula to find it.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
Work out the surface area of its 6 faces individually and then add them together
It is not possible. For example, the prism could be tall and thin, or short and thick, and either way have the same surface area.
