<u>Given</u>:
Given that the base of the triangle is 4 cm.
The height of the triangle is 3 cm.
The height of the prism is 8 cm.
The other side of the triangle is 5 cm.
We need to determine the surface area of the triangular prism.
<u>Surface area of the triangular prism:</u>
The surface area of the triangular prism can be determined using the formula,
where b is the base of the triangle,
h is the height of the triangle,
s₁, s₂, s₃ are the side lengths of the triangle and
H is the height of the prism.
Substituting b = 4, h = 3, s₁ = 4, s₂ = 3, s₃ = 5 and H = 8, we get;
Thus, the surface area of the triangular prism is 108 square cm.

Unfortunately there isn't enough information.
Check out the diagram below. We have segment BC equal to 120 meters long. Points B, C, D and E are all on the edge of the same circle. According to the inscribed angle theorem, angles BDC and BEC are congruent. This shows that the surveyor could be at points D or E, or the surveyor could be anywhere on the circle. There are infinitely many locations for the surveyor to be at, which leads to infinitely many possible widths of this canal.
