Assuming the cross-section is an equilateral triangle with sides of 'a' and the length is 'b' the surface area will be 3ab + SQRT(3).a2

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?
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 = 2 × Base Area + Base Perimeter × Length
S=2B+Ph
The formula for calculating the surface area of a prism is SA 2B Ph, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and h is the height of the prism. The angle of the prism does not directly affect the surface area calculation.

Surface Area = 2 × Base Area + Base Perimeter × Length
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. This formula accounts for the two faces of each dimension (length, width, and height) on the rectangular prism.
S=2B+Ph
perpendicular height
if you mean surface area, the area of the base multiplied by the height
Surface area = 2LW + 2(L+W)H
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.
its not i dont no why
