Answer:

960 ft

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!
