No. Above answer gives volume not surface area.
Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.

The cross-section of a prism is the same - it is the same as the shape of the two parallel "bases"; this cross-section can be any shape, not necessarily a rectangle. Each side of a prism is rectangular, so knowing the formula for a rectangle will help you along to finding the surface area of the prism by helping you to calculate the area of the sides; however, you will still need to be able to calculate the area of the bases (unless it is given to you), for which knowing the area of a rectangle may not (usually will not) help.
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).
The formula is 2 times the area of its base plus (side length) times (number of sides) times (height of the prism) You multiply the first two, multiply the last three separately, and then add the two answers together. Technically the formula is 2B+Ph where B is the base area, P is the base's perimeter, and h is the height.
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.
First of all, there is no such word as "rectangler".Second, there is no single formula for a rectangular prism or for any other shape. There are different formulae for the volume, surface area, number of faces, Euler characteristic, length of principal diagonal or other aspects.First of all, there is no such word as "rectangler".Second, there is no single formula for a rectangular prism or for any other shape.
