Find the area of the base using A = 1/2 bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is its height.

Then multiply by the height of the prism.

That's the volume. Are you looking for the surface area?

If so, then find the area of the base again, multiply by 2 to cover the top and the bottom.

Then for each side of the triangle, multiply its length by the height of the prism.

Add it all together and you're done.
