What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular pyramid?

I don’t want u to explain to me how to do it. But please just give me the FORMULA of the surface area of a rectangular prism. Please (:
And the volume formula please.

The volume of a pyramid:
V(volume) = 1/3 * Area of the base * Height

The surface area of a pyramid:
SA(surface area) = [1/2 * Perimeter * Slant Height] + [Base Area]

i would like you to follow the link below and click Problem 2 that is exactly same with your question.
