Answer:
960 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the surface area. To do this, let's see the shapes that are present. There are two triangles with a base and height of 9 and 12, respectively. There is one rectangle with a base and height of 24 and 15, one with base and height of 24 and 12, and finally one with a base and height of 24 and 9.
The areas are:
Triangles: 1/2bh = 1/2(9)(12) = 48 (there are two of these)
Rectangle 1: bh = (24)(15) = 360
Rectangle 2: bh = (24)(12) = 288
Rectangle 3: bh = (24)(9) = 216
Adding all these areas together, we get 960.
Thus, Monique will need 960 feet of fabric to cover the prism.
Hope this helps!
