Answer:

228cm^2

Explanation:

Formulas we'll use: area of a rectangle is length x width, and area of a triangle = 1/2x base x height

the base is a rectangle, 10 by 3 cm. 10 x 3 = 30cm^2

the sides are also rectangles, 13 by 3 cm. 13 x 3 = 39, but there are 2 of them, 39 x 2 = 78cm^2

The top and bottom are triangles, 1/2(10)(12) = 1/2(120) = 60, but there are 2 of them, 60 x 2 = 120cm^2

Add up the areas to get your total surface area. It's in square cm

30 + 78 + 120 = 228cm^2
