Answer: 1300 cm^3, 850 cm^2

Explanation:

With a triangular prism, you need to calculate the surface area of the triangle first and then the length. Here's how to solve for the volume (A):

Triangles is b*h/2, plug in the equation

10*13/2

130/2

65

Now use the length of the rest of the shape, which is 20 cm.

65*20=1300

the volume is 1300 cm^3.

for B, finding the surface area requires you to analyze each individual part of the shape.

Each part colored in represents a different shape:

Red:

10*20=200

Blue:

13*10/2=65

65*2=130 (Two triangles)

Green:

13*20=260

260*2=520 (Two rectangles)

Add them all up together.

200+130+520= 850 cm^2
