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.

How do you you find the surface area of a equilateral triangular prism?
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
What is the surface area of a triangular prism with a base that is an equilateral triangle with side lenght of 4.2 cm and a height of 6 cm?
47.88 cm2
What is the smallest possible surface area of a right prism with a volume of 200 cm3?
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.
How do you determine the surface area of a rectangular prism?
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
Which solid has two triangular bases and rectangular side faces?
The triangular prism has the two triangular bases and rectangular side faces.
How do you you find the surface area of a equilateral triangular prism?
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
Formula for surface area of a triangular prism?
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.
What is the c in the formula for finding surface area of trapezoidal prism?
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.
What is the total surface area of a triangular 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
what is the area of a triangular prism?
Surface Area= Base x Height+(Side 1+ Side 2+ Side3 ) x Height SA=bh(s1=+s2+s3)h
What is the surface area of a triangular prism with a base that is an equilateral triangle with side lenght of 4.2 cm and a height of 6 cm?
47.88 cm2
If there is a triangular prism with a 4 inch higth a 6 inch base a 16 inch length and a 5 inch side what is the surface area?
I believe the answer is 240 square inches.
Equilateral triangular prism surface area formula?
To find the surface area, the surface area of each rectangular side and the surface areas of the two triangular ends must be calculated. Given an equilateral triangular prism of height X and sides Y, each side has a surface area of X * Y. The end triangles are solved by using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). In this case, a and c are known as Y and Y/2, so b= square root (Y^2 - (Y/2)^2). The area of a triangle is 1/2(base * height), where the base is Y and the height is b. The total surface area is then 3 * (X * Y) + 2 * ( 1/2 * (Y * (Y^2 - (Y/2)^2))).
How do you calculate the surface area of a square prism?
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
