It depends on what the formula is for: volume, surface area, number of faces, number of edges, number of vertices, etc.
Triangular Prism Formula :
Area of Base(A) = ½ * a * b
Perimeter of Base(P) = s1 + s2 + s3
Surface Area of Prism = ab + (s1 + s2 + s3)h = ab + Ph
Volume of Prism = ½ * a * b * h = Ah
where
a = altitude, b = base, h = height and s1, s2, s3 are sides

there is no rght agles in a triangular prisms
No, Triangular prisms have two bases that are triangular but these need not be equilateral.
Triangular prisms.
None, but you can cut a cube into any number ≥ 2 of triangular prisms.
The derivation of the formula of pyramid can be gained easily based on the formula for a triangular prism. A pyramid is like two prisms joined together.
