Answer 1

A. 98 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the net of a triangular prism with the area of each face, note that the lateral surface area of the given triangular prism can be determined by adding only the area of the lateral surfaces of the prism, we won't include the area of the bases of the prism.

So the lateral surface area will be the sum of the areas of the rectangles as seen below;

`\begin{gathered} \text{LSA }=Area_B+Area_C+Area_D \\ =35+28+35 \\ =98cm^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the given net of a triangular prism is 98 cm^2
