Answer:

480

Explanation:

First, lets solve for the area of the 3 rectangles in the prism

One can be found by doing 17*9. The other, 8*9, the last 15*9

Next, lets solve for the 2 triangles. This is found with...

1/2(8)(15). This turns out to be 60, and we multiply that by 2 since there are 2 of those triangles.

Add everything up:

72+153+135+120 = 480
