There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(wh + lw + lh), where w is width, h is height, and l is length. 3.14 is the value for pi, which is only used for circular objects, like circles, cylinders, and spheres. It has nothing to do with rectangular prisms. Click on the related link below for an illustration of the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism.
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.

Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
its not i dont no why
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.

The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
The first comprises one rectangular face and four triangular faces whereas the second has two triangular and three rectangular faces.
A rectangular pyramid you use 1/3 or divide 3 in the product but a triangular prism you use 1/2 or divide 2 on the product.
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
