Answer 2

Given formula for the surface area of a right prism is S=2B+Ph (where B is the area of one of the bases, h is the prism's height and P is the perimeter of the base)

Here, B = 5 square inches (area of the square base)

P = 10 inches (perimeter of the square base)

h = 5 inches (height of prism)

So, putting the values in the formula we get,

S = $(2*5)+(10*5)$

= $10+50$ = 60 square inches

Hence, the correct surface area of the prism is 60 sq in. (this is not given in the options)
