Well it depends what your asking, if your just looking for the perimiter it would be length times 2 plus height times 2. Now if your looking for lateral surface area the formula would be length times height times 2 plus length times height times 2,
heres a better look at the formula.
perimiter (P) = L+L+W+W
lateral surface area (LSA) = 2xLxH +2xWxH
Now if your looking for total surface area (The total surface area of a rectangular solid includes the lateral suface area plus the area of the top and bottom) The formula would be.
Total surface area (TSA)= 2xLxH + 2xWxH + 2xLxW
W = Width
L = Length
h = Height
Well I hope that helps

In the absence of any further information, multiply the length by the width
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...

The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
By halving its perimeter and using the quadratic equation formula.
surface area=(perimeter of base)x(height of the shape)+(area of the base)x(2)
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular solid is = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh 2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)
In the absence of any further information, multiply the length by the width
The formula for getting the Rectangular prism/solid is (Perimeter of the base)(Height)* Get the Perimeter of the rectangular prism first (2L + 2W) P = (2)(10) + (2)(6) = 20 + 12 = 22* Now lets solve for the Lateral Area LA = (22) (4)LA = 88
P*H+2*(L*B) Perimeter*Height+2*(lenght*Breadth)
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...

Depends whether you want the formula for surface area, volume, perimeter, size of sphere it would fit into etc... Please clarify next time.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
