Answer:
A. 24+24+120+160+200
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of the triangular prism= addition of the area of each shape that forms the prism
There are two triangles
Area of a triangle=1/2*base*height
=1/2*8*6
=1/2*48
=24
Area of two triangles=24+24
There are 3 rectangles with different dimensions
Back rectangle=length×width
=20×6
=120
Bottom rectangle=length ×width
=20x8
=160
Top rectangle=length × width
=20×10
=200
Surface area =Area of two triangles + Back rectangle + Bottom rectangle + Top rectangle
=24+24+120+160+200
