What is a triangular prism and how do we find the surface area

The video tutorial explains the concept of triangular prisms, focusing on identifying them by their triangular base. It discusses how to calculate the surface area by considering the base and the top, which are identical, and multiplying by two. The tutorial also covers the importance of accounting for the different side areas, especially when dealing with equilateral or scalene triangles. The teacher emphasizes understanding the geometry of triangular prisms and provides a step-by-step guide to calculating their surface area.
