Here, we want to get the value for the surface area of the prism

Mathematically, this is the sum of the surface area of the base and that of the sides

Now, as we can see, we have two triangular bases (with the areas given)

What we need next is to get the area of the face, which is a rectangle of side measure 8.1 in by 12 in

The value here is the product of the dimensions

We have this as;


\text{Area}=\text{ 8.1 }*\text{ 12 = 97.2 square inches}

Finally, we know that the net of a triangular prism contains 3 rectangles and 2 triangles
