The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.
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.
I know the surface area. 2B+ lateral (Ph)
A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel bases bounded by congruent polygons and with lateral faces bounded by parallelograms that connect the corresponding sides of the bases. The height of a prism is any perpendicular line drawn from a point on one base to the other base. If the the bases' shape of a prism is a triangle, we call it a triangular prism (it has 3 faces). The surface area is the sum of the bases' area and the faces' area (lateral area).
Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.
