Answer: 84 ft^2

Explanation:

The whole prism can be divided into 5 surfaces.

Two triangles and 3 rectangles.

Find the area of each of the 5 shapes and add them together.

The triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 3.

Area of triangle 1: A= 4*3 * 1/2

A = 6

Area of triangle 2: A = 4*3 * 1/2

A = 6

Area of rectangle 1 : A= 4*6

A = 24

Area of rectangle 2; A = 3*6

A = 18

Area of rectangle 3: A= 5 *6

A = 30

Now add the areas together

6 + 6 + 24 + 18 + 30 + = 84 ft^2
