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!

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.
