Answer:

56

Explanation:

The triangular prism has 5 sides. We will find the area of each individual side and add them together.

Sides 1 and 2: The triangles

These triangles have base 6 and height 4. Use the area of a triangle formula A=1/2*base*height=1/2*6*4 = 12 to get the area of each one.

Sides 3 and 4: The rectangular sides other than the base

These are rectangles with length 5 and width 2. A = 10.

Side 5: The base

This is a rectangle of length 6 and width 2. A = 12.

Adding it all up:

12+12+10+10+12 = 56.
