Answer:

400 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the figure is composed of the area of the two triangular, and three rectangular sides.

The surface area of the triangular sides is


2*((1)/(2)\cdot8\operatorname{cm}\cdot15\operatorname{cm})_{}=120\operatorname{cm}^2

The surface area of the two rectangular bases is


(15\operatorname{cm}*7\operatorname{cm})+(8\operatorname{cm}*7\operatorname{cm})=161\operatorname{cm}^2

And the surface area of the lateral side is


17\operatorname{cm}*7\operatorname{cm}=119\operatorname{cm}^2

Therefore, the total surface area of the prism is


120\operatorname{cm}+161\operatorname{cm}+119\operatorname{cm}=400\operatorname{cm}

The surface area of the triangular prism is 400 square cm.
