Answer: 92 ft²

Explanation:

To find the surface area of a right prism, we will find the area of each side and add them together. We have three sets of two congruent sides. We will write an equation representing the area of these sides, set it equal to the surface area, and solve by simplifying.

2(8 ft * 3 ft) + 2(3 ft * 2 ft) + 2(8 ft * 2 ft) = Surface Area

2(24 ft²) + 2(6 ft²) + 2(16 ft²) = Surface Area

48 ft² + 12 ft² + 32 ft² = Surface Area

92 ft² = Surface Area
