Answer:
a. 96 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the prism = the sum of the area of each part of the net shown
✔️Area of the 2 equal triangles = 2(½*b*h)
b = 4 in
h = 3 in
Area of the two triangles = 2(½*4*3) = 12 in²
✔️Area of the rectangle 1 with the following dimensions:
L = 7 in
W = 3 in
Area = L*W = 7*3 = 21 in²
✔️Area of the rectangle 2 with the following dimensions:
L = 7 in
W = 4 in
Area = L*W = 7*4 = 28 in²
✔️Area of the rectangle 3 with the following dimensions:
L = 7 in
W = 5 in
Area = L*W = 7*5 = 35 in²
✅Surface area of the prism = 12 + 21 + 28 + 35 = 96 in²
