Answer:

45.36 square inches

Explanation:

Given the following

Surface area of a triangular prism = 18 square inches

If it is enlarged by a scale factor of 2.52, the area of the enlarged solid is expressed as;

Area of enlarged solid = area of original sold * scale factor

Area of enlarged solid = 18 * 2.52

Area of enlarged solid = 45.36 square inches

hence the surface area of a similar solid that has been enlarged by a scale factor of 2.52 is 45.36 square inches
