What is the surface area of the figure in square centimeters?

The surface area of the prism consists of 2 triangles, 3 rectangles.

Triangle 1 (ABC)

Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height

= ½ × 4 × 3

= 6 square centimeters.

Triangle 2 (DEF):

Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height

= ½ × 4 × 3

= 6 square centimeters.

Rectangle 1

Area of the rectangle (ACDE) = Length × width

= 5 × 6

= 30 square centimeters.

Rectangle 2:

Area of the rectangle (ABEF) = Length × width

= 4 × 6

= 24 square centimeters.

Rectangle 3:

Area of the rectangle (BCDF) = Length × width

= 3 × 6

= 18 square centimeters.

Therefore,

Total surface area of the figure = 6 + 6 + 30 + 24 + 18)

= 84 square centimeters
