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.
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
If L is the length, H is the height, and W is the width of the rectangular prism, the surface area is: A = 2*L*H + 2*H*W + 2*W*L
volume is simply how much something can hold. area is based on the amount of space covering the figure. the short cut for surface area for a prism is lateral area+2base areas this is as simple as it gets for volume for a prism it is lwh

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!

find the area of all the faces then add them all up. this is how you get surface area and there isn't any formula for it
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.
