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.

What is the difference from a triangular prism and a square pyramid?
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
Why is the base of a triangular prism a triangle and not a square?
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle because the defining characteristic of a triangular prism is that it has two parallel triangular bases connected by three rectangular faces. The shape of the bases determines the prism's geometry; in this case, the triangular bases allow for unique properties like volume and surface area specific to triangular shapes. A square base would instead classify the solid as a rectangular prism, changing its properties and classification.
