Answer:
360 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.
Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.
Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):
1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2
24 x 2 = 48 cm^2
Area of the rectangular face:
8 x 13 = 104 cm^2
Area of another rectangular face:
6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2
Area of another rectangular face:
13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2
Add up all the areas of all faces:
48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360
So the SA is 360 cm^2
