Answer: 468 in² B

Explanation:

If you flipped the prism so that the triangle part was on the bottom you

SA= LA +2B

where

LA = lateral area = Ph

P(perimeter) = 15+9+12 = 36

h(height) = 10

LA = 36*10 =360

B= 1/2 bh b=9 h=12 I flipped the triangle so 9 would be base

B=1/2(9)(12)

B=54

SA = 360+2(54)

= 468 in²
