Question

Asap

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area of the prism is 252 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the prism is equal to

$SA=2B+PL$

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

P is the perimeter of the base

L is the length or the height of the prism

step 1

Find the area of the triangular base B

The area of triangular base B is

$B=\frac{1}{2}(8)(6)=24\ units^2$

The perimeter of the triangular base P is

$P=8+6+10=24\ units$

we have

$L=8.5\ units$

substitute the values in the formula

$SA=2(24)+24(8.5)=252\ units^2$
