You find the area of the base and then find the area of one triangle. Multiply that one triangle by 4 and then add the base.
The above is correct for a triangular pyramid NOT a triangilar prism.
A triangular prism has two triangular ends and three rectangular faces. The rectangular faces need no be the same shape, but if they are,
So Area = 2*area of triangular ends + 3*area of rectangular faces
If not, you'll just have to calculate each area separately and add them.

How do you find the base if a triangular prism?
okay, to find the base of a triangular prism you just b = 2a/h (base = 2 * area/height)
How do you find surface area of a triangular prisim?
2*area of triangular faces + perimeter of triangle*length of prism (not prisim).
Is a triangular prism has the same surface area as a pyramid with a triangular base true or false?
False, the prism can be of any length.
What is area of prism 5cm 4cm 3cm?
It depends on the prism. Is it a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a pentagonal prism... etc..
How do you find the lateral surface of a triangular prism?
The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.
