Answer:
1008 cm²
Explanation:
The surface area of the triangular prism is made up of:
- 3 rectangles.
- 2 congruent triangles (the bases).
Area of rectangle 1 = 20 × 15 = 300 cm²
Area of rectangle 2 = 20 × 13 = 260 cm²
Area of rectangle 3 = 20 × (5 + 9) = 280 cm²
Area of one triangular base = 1/2 × (5 + 9) × 12 = 84 cm²
Therefore,
SA of the triangular prism = 300 + 260 + 280 + 84 + 84 = 1008 cm²
