Measure the length (L), width (W) and height (H). Then total surface area = 2*(L*W + W*H +H+L)

The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
5+5
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
It is length * width.
Measure the length (L), width (W) and height (H). Then total surface area = 2*(L*W + W*H +H+L)
Properties of a rectangular prism: * A rectangular prism has a total of 6 surfaces. * Because it is rectangular it will have 4 equal longer edges and 8 equal shorter edges, and so * It will have 4 rectangular faces and 2 square faces, therefore * Total surface area = 2 x square (end ) surface + 4 x rectangular (side) surfaces If we let x = shorter edges (breadth) & y = longer edges (length), and, as area = length x breadth, then * each end (a square surface) will have an area of x2 * each side (rectangular surface) will have an area of xy Thus: Total surface area of the rectangular prism = 2 x end area + 4 x side area = 2x2 + 4xy = 2x(x + 2y) Hope this nswers your question and explains how we arrive at the formula for calculating the total surface area of a rectangular prism.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
You cannot.

If the prism has length L, breadth B and height H, then total surface area = 2*(LB + BH + HL) square units.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
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.
u have to find the surface area for individual sides. so lxw for each individual side
