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 for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2(wh + lw + lh), where w is width, h is height, and l is length. 3.14 is the value for pi, which is only used for circular objects, like circles, cylinders, and spheres. It has nothing to do with rectangular prisms. Click on the related link below for an illustration of the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism.
Rectangular Prism surface area formula is Area = 2 (wh + lw + lh) (Length x width of a side) x 2 + (length x width of perpendicular side) x 2 + (length x width of end) x 2 = surface area of a rectangular prism
Depends whether you want the formula for surface area, volume, perimeter, size of sphere it would fit into etc... Please clarify next time.
Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, to find the area of a rectangular prism, you just need to calculate the total surface area by adding up the areas of all the individual faces. It's like, you find the area of the base (length x width) and then multiply it by the height of the prism. Voilà, you've got the area of a rectangular prism!
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
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...
Surface area = 2LW + 2(L+W)H

Formula: S = 2B + L
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.
A= 2(wh+lw+lh) where w = width h = height and l = length When trying to find the surface area of something, it is important to try to remember the specific formula. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is A=2(wl+hl+hw).
