Answer:
B. 32 square inches
Explanation:
Each of the two triangular faces has an area of ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1//2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²
The lateral surface area is the product of the prism height (0.5 in) and the perimeter of the base.
LA = (0.5 in)(5 in +5 in + 6 in) = 8 in²
So, the total area is the area of the two base and the lateral area:
SA = 2A +LA
SA = 2(12 in²) +8 in² = 32 in²
The surface area of the prism is 32 square inches.
