It depends on the size of the triangular prism, but depending on the side of the prism you use the triangle area formula to find it or the rectangle area formula to find it.
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
47.88 cm2
The triangular prism has the two triangular bases and rectangular side faces.
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
Rectangular Prism surface area formula is Area = 2 (wh + lw + lh) (Length x width of a side) x 2 + (length x width of perpendicular side) x 2 + (length x width of end) x 2 = surface area of a rectangular prism
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
A triangular prism is a three-sided prism with three faces joining corresponding sides. The formula for its surface area is SA = wh + lw + lh + ls, where l=length, h=height, w=width and s=side.
You must be thinking of a triangular prism. In that case, c is the length of the third side of the triangle at the end of the prism.
you would have to add all the different areas of each side together to get the surface area. the formula though, would be side area times three, plus the base
Surface Area= Base x Height+(Side 1+ Side 2+ Side3 ) x Height SA=bh(s1=+s2+s3)h

I believe the answer is 240 square inches.
The triangular prism has the two triangular bases and rectangular side faces.
You can think of a square prism as a die, having six sides. So you need the length of one side, 's'. That side's [surface] area is s2 With six sides, the cube's surface area is simply: 6s2
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
lol rectangles
the side view would be a triangle <(`-`)>.
