A prism doesn't have an area; since a prism is a 3-dimensional (i.e. solid) object it has a volume. Perhaps you meant surface area. In mathematics a prism has a rather general definition. The two end faces are polygons ( not necessarily triangles ), lying in faces parallel to each other but not necessarily exactly opposite each other, and the side faces are not necessarily rectangles, but more generally parallograms. To find the total surface area you will need to find the area of each face, then sum them. In case of difficulty, submit a new question giving details of the prism.

The suface are of a rectangular prism is the area of each face added together for a total.
Whatever the net, the answer is the same area as that of the net.
you would have to add all the different areas of each side together to get the surface area. the formula though, would be side area times three, plus the base
Formula: S = 2B + L
The formula for the volume of a parallelogram prism is V = Bh, where B is the base area of the parallelogram and h is the height of the prism. The formula for the surface area of a parallelogram prism is SA = 2B + Ph, where P is the perimeter of the base parallelogram. The base area of a parallelogram can be calculated as A = b * h, where b is the base length and h is the height of the parallelogram.
The formula for the area of a right prism is: Total surface area = area of one square + area of four triangles which equals = length2 + 4 ( 1/2 * base * height) The volume of a right prism is equal to: V = 1/3 (length * breadth) * perpendicular height Note: In the formula for the volume the length * breadth refers to the base.
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
Sure thing, honey. The formula for the area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Just plug in those values and you'll have your area faster than you can say "Golden Girls marathon."
The formula is Bxh where B is the base which is the area of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
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.
The formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism is to take the area of the hexagon, then multiply it by the height of the prism.
The fact that it's a prism has nothing to do with the area of the base. See the attached Related Link for your formula.
Length of prism * perimeter of triangular face.
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
yes. base area x height lxwxh No. Above answer gives volume not surface area. Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.
i have no freaking idea
