firrst u need to find the perimeter of the bases...length of one side by the number of sides...then multiply it by the heigt :)

That is just so not correct. The periimeter has absolutely nothing to do with the area.
A prism consists of two parallel bases which are n-sided polygons and n rectangular faces which need not be of the same size.
Step 1. Calculate the area of the base and multiply by 2.
Step 2. Calculate the area of each of the rectangular faces. If the bases are regular polygons, then the rectangular faces will all be the same and you can simply multiply the area of one of the faces by n.
Step 3. Add together the answers from Step 1 and Step 2.

Formula for surface area of rectangular prisms?
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
If two rectangular prisms have the same volume do they have the same surface area?
well, they can, but they dont have to be no. :)
How do you find the surface area of a regular hexagonal pyramid?
Hexagonal prisms cannot be regular. If you tried to make one it would end up being a hexagon since six equilateral triangles make a hexagon. Therefore, there is no surface area.
Find the surface area?
It depends on the surface area of what!
How do you find a surface area?
Lenght X width = surface area
