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).

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.

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 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.
