In places like a desert a lot of times they aren't, because they don't have a lot of rain and they don't really get snow, but in places like Michigan, our roofs might collapse with the weight of all the snow we get in the winter so make them in the shape of a triangular prism so the snow wont really stay on the roof, but there are still some people who make their roofs flat for whatever reason.

What is another name for a triangular based prism?
You can call it a "triangular prism" rather than "triangular based prism" ... saying a prism is "triangular" imply that the base is a triangle. There's no other name that I know of. A prism is just a 3d shape, so all you have to say is <type of shape> + prism to get the point across.

Do you have to multiply all the numbers to find the volume of a prism?
No, that will not give you the volume of a prism (since it's a triangular shape, not cuboid). For volume of a prism, you need to find the area of one of the end triangles, then multiply by the length of the prism.
