Answer:

96 in.²

Explanation:

Surface Area of the prism = 2(area of the 2 equal triangles) + area of rectangle A + rectangle B + rectangle C

✔️Area of the two triangles with the following dimensions:

height = 3 in.

base = 4 in.

Area = 2(½*4*3) = 12 in.²

✔️Area of rectangle A = L*W

L = 7 in

W = 5 in

Area of rectangle A = 7*5 = 35 in.²

✔️Area of rectangle B = L*W

L = 7 in

W = 4 in

Area of rectangle B = 7*4 = 28 in.²

✔️Area of rectangle C = L*W

L = 7 in

W = 3 in

Area of rectangle C = 7*3 = 21 in.²

✔️surface area of the prism = 12 + 35 + 28 + 21 = 96 in.²
