Answer:

A. 84 cm²

Explanation:

Surface area of triangular prism = 2(base area) + (Perimeter)*height of prism

Base area = 6 cm² (given)

Perimeter = 12 cm

Altitude = height of prism = 6 cm

Plug in the values into the formula

Surface Area of triangular prism = 2(6) + (12)*6

= 12 + 72

= 84 cm²
