Answer:
11,448 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area can be computed from ...
... A = 2(LW +H(L+W))
For the given prism, the area will be ...
... A = 2(18·12 +14(18+12)) = 2(216 +420) = 1272 . . . . in²
The area of a similar figure with dimensions 3 times as long will be 3² times as much. The area of the new figure is ...
... A = 3²×(1272 in²) = 11,448 in²
