We have been given an image of a triangular prism. We are asked to find the total surface area of the the prism.
The total surface area of the prism wold be sum of areas of all faces.
First of all, we will find the area of base and other two rectangles on sides.





Now we need to find the area of two triangular faces.





Therefore, the total surface area of the prism is 1008 square cm.
