The formula is 2 times the area of its base plus (side length) times (number of sides) times (height of the prism)
You multiply the first two, multiply the last three separately, and then add the two answers together. Technically the formula is 2B+Ph where B is the base area, P is the base's perimeter, and h is the height.
yes. base area x height lxwxh No. Above answer gives volume not surface area. Surface area formula will differ depending on type of prism.
A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel bases bounded by congruent polygons and with lateral faces bounded by parallelograms that connect the corresponding sides of the bases. The height of a prism is any perpendicular line drawn from a point on one base to the other base. If the the bases' shape of a prism is a triangle, we call it a triangular prism (it has 3 faces). The surface area is the sum of the bases' area and the faces' area (lateral area).
First of all, there is no such word as "rectangler".Second, there is no single formula for a rectangular prism or for any other shape. There are different formulae for the volume, surface area, number of faces, Euler characteristic, length of principal diagonal or other aspects.First of all, there is no such word as "rectangler".Second, there is no single formula for a rectangular prism or for any other shape.

The cross-section of a prism is the same - it is the same as the shape of the two parallel "bases"; this cross-section can be any shape, not necessarily a rectangle. Each side of a prism is rectangular, so knowing the formula for a rectangle will help you along to finding the surface area of the prism by helping you to calculate the area of the sides; however, you will still need to be able to calculate the area of the bases (unless it is given to you), for which knowing the area of a rectangle may not (usually will not) help.
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.

I am not sure that a rectangular prism is in any position to care!
find the area of all the faces then add them all up. this is how you get surface area and there isn't any formula for it

False, the prism can be of any length.

It is not possible to answer the question since a square prism can have any length.
the number edges of the base of a pyramid is onr more than the number of faces * * * * * The question had nothing to do with pyramids and, in any case, the answer is wrong! There are different formulae for different aspect of a triangular prism: its volume, surface area, numbers of edges, faces, or vertices. there is no single formula.
Given any rectangular prism, there are infinitely many other rectangular prisms with exactly the same surface area.
The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.
Find the surface area of the top or bottom face and multiply that by the depth of the prism. For example, a triangular prism would have a volume of (1/2 * base * height) * (depth)
