No. A triangle is a 2-dimensional figure, a prism is 3-dimensional.

There are 9 sides on a triangular prism.
The Formula is Base*Height, or 1/2 Height (altitude of the triangle) * Base (of the Triangle) * height (Height of the prism)
The Surface area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height The volume of a prism = area of its cross-section*length
