You find the area of each of the four triangular faces of the prism and add them together.
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.
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.
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
the defnition of find the surface area of triangular prism and cylinder
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.
You find the area of each of the four triangular faces of the prism and add them together.

Find the area of a triangular section, 1/2bh, and then multiply by the length of the prism.
okay, to find the base of a triangular prism you just b = 2a/h (base = 2 * area/height)
Capacity generally implies volume in geometry. To calculate the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of its triangular bases and multiply it by the height of the shape.
You find the area of the base and then find the area of one triangle. Multiply that one triangle by 4 and then add the base. The above is correct for a triangular pyramid NOT a triangilar prism. A triangular prism has two triangular ends and three rectangular faces. The rectangular faces need no be the same shape, but if they are, So Area = 2*area of triangular ends + 3*area of rectangular faces If not, you'll just have to calculate each area separately and add them.
To find the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of the triangles (base of the prism) first (base x height divided by 2). When you have the area of the triangle, then multiply the area of the triangle by the height of the prism, *not the height of the base.
2*area of triangular faces + perimeter of triangle*length of prism (not prisim).
All you have to do is find the area divide it by the base and then you get the height.
