Answer:
192 \text{ cm}^2

Explanation:

The area of each of the two triangular faces is
(1)/(2)(8)(3)=12 \text{ cm}^2.

The area of each of the two rectangular side faces is
(12)(3)=36 \text{ cm}^2.

The area of the rectangular bottom face is
(12)(8)=96 \text{ cm}^2.

So, the surface area is
2(12)+2(36)+96=192 \text{ cm}^2.
