Answer:
Surface area of prism = 1301 cm²
Explanation:
A triangular pyramid has 3 rectangular sides and 2 triangular sides.
Now, we are told that the triangular side is isosceles.
This means that two of the rectangular sides which share a side with the equal side of the triangle are equal as well as the 2 triangular sides.
Surface area of prism = 2(area of triangular face) + 2(area of rectangle sharing one side with the equal side of the triangle) + (area of rectangle sharing side with the unequal side of the triangle).
Area of triangle = ½ × base × height
Area of triangle = ½ × 9 × 13 = 58.5 cm²
Since height of prism is 32 cm, then;
area of rectangle sharing one side with the equal side of the triangle = 32 × 14 = 448 cm²
area of rectangle sharing side with the unequal side of the triangle = 32 × 9 = 288 cm²
Thus;
Surface area of prism = 2(58.5) + 2(448) + 288
Surface area of prism = 1301 cm²
