For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
LxWx2
The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
It has to do with the surface area formula: To find the total surface area of a pyramid, use this equation: Surface Area = B + 1/2 * P * s B = base area P = perimeter of the base s = slant height To find the volume of a Pyramid, substitute into this equation: V=1/3Bh B=base area h=height of pyramid
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?
