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?
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.
Finding the volume of a cylinder is similar to finding the volume of a prism because both involve calculating the area of the base and then multiplying it by the height. In a cylinder, the base is a circle, so the formula for the area of a circle (πr²) is used. For a prism, the base can be any polygon, and you multiply the area of that base by the height of the prism. In both cases, the formula is Volume = Base Area × Height.
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
To find the surface area of a prism using pi, you first calculate the area of the base shape, which may involve circular areas if the base is a circle or a shape with circular components. Multiply the base area by the number of bases in the prism (usually two for most prisms). Then, calculate the lateral surface area by finding the perimeter of the base and multiplying it by the height of the prism. Finally, add the base area and lateral surface area to get the total surface area.

its not i dont no why
The ratio is 19/9.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
Simply get the summation of the area of its sides and its base.
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!

You must be thinking of a triangular prism. In that case, c is the length of the third side of the triangle at the end of the prism.
The ratio is sqrt(36) : sqrt(225) which is 6 : 15 or 2 : 5
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.
