LxWx2
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?
S=2B+Ph
yes. base area x height lxwxh No. Above answer gives volume not surface area. Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.

surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh

its not i dont no why
I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
It depends on the size of the triangular prism, but depending on the side of the prism you use the triangle area formula to find it or the rectangle area formula to find it.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
Type your answer hereThe surface area of a prism is square root of 3* a 2 /4 + 3*a*h where a is edge of equilateral triangle and h is height of prism
