The answer depends on the information that you do have.
Suppose you know all the edge lengths: the three sides of the triangle are a, b and c and the length of the prism is d.
Let s = (a + b + c)/2
Then the area of the triangular cross section is sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)] square units.
So, surface area = 2*sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)] + d*(a+b+c) square units.
Volume = sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]*d cubic units.
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
The answer will depend on what aspect the formula is for: the surface area or the volume being the most obvious options.
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
You find the volume of a triangular prism by using this formula: Volume = 1/2 base of the triangle x height of the triangle x height of the prism.
Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.

It depends on triangular what: pyramid, dipyramid, prism, ...
Find the area of a triangular section, 1/2bh, and then multiply by the length of the prism.
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
What is the formula for a triangular prism
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
You find the volume of a triangular prism by using this formula: Volume = 1/2 base of the triangle x height of the triangle x height of the prism.
Surface area is squared; volume is cubed.
The volume of a three-dimensional figure is the amount of space it encloses. The volume V of a triangular prism is the product of the area B of a base and the height h of the prism. (The bases are triangles. In a special case of a right triangular prism the bases are right triangles)
The formula used to determine the volume of a triangular prism is v = 1/2 (length)(width)(height). v= 1/2 (lwh)
Volume of a triangular prism = cross-section area times length
