The answer depends on the shape and dimensions of the prism. If the cross section is an equilateral triangle with sides of rational length then you will require a square root to find its area. You could, of course, have a 3-4-5 triangle, in which case no square root is required if the length is rational.
A Square prism has a square base a triangular has a trianguler base
square pyramid
A triangular prism can have a square or triangular base.
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
the defnition of find the surface area of triangular prism and cylinder
A square pyramid triangular prism is not a 3-D shape.
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
A triangular prism can have a square or triangular base, but faces are normally triangles. (I think)
a triangular prism, square based pyramid, rectangular prism and much more
A triangular prism has a triangular base. A square-based prism has a square base. A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges.
the difference is a triangular pyramid has a point at the top and a triangular prism doesn't and a triangular pyramid has a square at the bottom and tringular prism doesn't
A triangular prism has 6 vertices and a square pyramid has 5 vertices.So, a triangular prism has 1 one vertex than a square pyramid.
