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.

What is the surface area of a triangular prism formula?
Whatever the net, the answer is the same area as that of the net.
What is the suface area of a rectangular prism?
The suface are of a rectangular prism is the area of each face added together for a total.
What is the formula for a parallelogram prism?
Formula for parallelogram prism is volume = cross sectional area times length. It can also be calculated by multiplying length, height and characteristic length.
What is the total surface area of a triangular prism?
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
How do you calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism?
Formula: S = 2B + L
Formula for area of a rectangular prism?
The formula for the area of a rectangular prism is A= 2(wL+hL+hw). A refers to area, w is the width of the prism, h refers to height, and L is the length of the prism.
Formula of right prism?
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.
What is the formula for finding the total surface area of a triangular prism?
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.
What is formula of triangular prism?
The formula is Bxh where B is the base which is the area of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
What is the surface area of one side of a triangular 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.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism?
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.
What is the formula for the area of base of a pentagonal based 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.
What is the formula for the lateral area of a triangular prism?
Length of prism * perimeter of triangular face.
How do you do the volume of a triangular prism?
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
Is the formula for the area of any prism the same?
yes. base area x height lxwxh No. Above answer gives volume not surface area. Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.
What is the formula of the lateral area of a prism?
i have no freaking idea
What is the formula for surface area in a rectangular prism?
LxWx2
