The formula for each is 1/2*b*h. Multiply by two because there are two triangles. 2*1/2*b*h or b*h. There are three rectangles on a triangular prism. There formula for each is b*h. Multiply by three because there are three rectangles. 3*b*h.<br><b>References : </b><br> The are two equal triangles on a triangular prism. The formula for each is 1/2*b*h.
Multiply by two because there are two triangles. 2*1/2*b*h or b*h.

There are three rectangles on a triangular prism. There formula for each is b*h. Multiply by three because there are three rectangles. 3*b*h.

If the area of the triangles on the ends is considered part of the area, then you must add that in, too.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you get a piece of paper and fold it into a triangular prism, you’ll see that the area of the rectangular faces is just the perimeter of the triangles on the end, times the length.
