Okay, the last person who edited this, totally screwed up. The formula to find the surface area of a square prism is 2B+Ph, multiply the length of the width of the base to get the area, then multiply that by two. After you have multiplied the base twice, et the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the height of the square prism.

If the cubic prism has length L, breadth B and height H, then its surface area is 2*(LB + BH + HL) square units.
If a rectangular prism has length L, width W and height H units, then its total surface area is 2*(LW + WH + HL) square units.
You will need to find the surface area of each face and add them together.
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, use the formula ( SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh ), where ( l ) is the length, ( w ) is the width, and ( h ) is the height of the prism. This formula calculates the area of all six rectangular faces. Simply plug in the dimensions of the prism to compute the total surface area.

This square prism is a cube with six sides, each having an area of one square foot. Thus, the total surface area is six square feet.
the defnition of find the surface area of triangular prism and cylinder
find the area of triangles(reflecting surfaces) and also the area of rectangle or square(base)and find the sum of both.
To find the surface area of an prism you must do the following: EXAMPLE: S.A.( SURFACE AREA) and L.A.(LATERAL AREA) S.A.=L.A. +2B S.A.=113 +2 (28) S.A.= 113 + 56 S.A.=169 IN.2( THE 2 MEANS SQUARE ROOT)
If the cubic prism has length L, breadth B and height H, then its surface area is 2*(LB + BH + HL) square units.
If the prism has length L, breadth B and height H, then total surface area = 2*(LB + BH + HL) square units.
If a rectangular prism has length L, width W and height H units, then its total surface area is 2*(LW + WH + HL) square units.
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 will need to find the surface area of each face and add them together.
The Surface area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height The volume of a prism = area of its cross-section*length
The answer depends on the shape and dimensions of the prism. If the cross section is an equilateral triangle with sides of rational length then you will require a square root to find its area. You could, of course, have a 3-4-5 triangle, in which case no square root is required if the length is rational.
