To find the surface area, find the area of each side and then add them together.

The bottom is 8 x 2 = 16

The left side is 6 x 2 = 12

The slanted side is 10 x 2 = 20

The front triangle is 1/2 x 8 x 6 = 24

The back triangle is the same as the front = 24

Total surface area = 16 + 12 + 20 + 24+24 = 96 square inches.
