Answer:

360 cm^2

Explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2
