The formula for the area of a rectangular prism is A= 2(wL+hL+hw). A refers to area, w is the width of the prism, h refers to height, and L is the length of the prism.

LxWx2
If the base is a rectangle, use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
Depends whether you want the formula for surface area, volume, perimeter, size of sphere it would fit into etc... Please clarify next time.

surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!

its not i dont no why
Formula: S = 2B + L

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?
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...
