268 cm^2

Explanation:

Find the SA of the purple rectangular prism:

LEFT FACE EXCLUDED

Front: (6)(2) = 12 cm^2

Back: 12 cm^2

Top: (7)(2) = 14 cm^2

Bottom: 14 cm^2

Right: (7)(6) = 42 cm^2

TOTAL: 94 cm^2

SA of the pink triangular prism:

RIGHT FACE EXCLUDED

Front: (1/2)(6)(8) = 24 cm^2

Back: 24 cm^2

Bottom: (7)(8) = 56 cm^2

Left: (10)(7) = 70 cm^2

TOTAL: 174 cm^2

Add both SAs of figures:

174 + 94 = 268 cm^2
