2(24 × 4) + 2(16 × 5) + 2(16 × 24)

To simplify this expression, you'd apply the Distributive Property, which is defined as a(b + c) = ab + ac. This means you multiply the number on the outside of the parentheses by each number on the inside and add their products. Let's begin to solve.

2(24 × 4) + 2(16 × 5) + 2(16 × 24)
48 + 8 + 2(16 × 5) + 2(16 × 24)
48 + 8 + 32 + 10 + 2(16 × 24)
48 + 8 + 32 + 10 + 32 + 48
56 + 42 + 80
178

Answer:
The surface area of the triangular prism is 178 units squared.
