Answer:

Height = 12in

Surface area = 320in²

Explanation:

Given

Length of the square base = 8in

Volume of the prism = 768 cubic inches

Using the formula;

Volume of the prism = Base area * Height of prism

768 = 8² * H

768 = 64H

H = 768/64

H = 12in

Hence the height of the prism is 12in

Get the surface area

Surface area = 2l² + 2lh

Surface area = 2(8)² + 2 (8)(12)

Surface area = 128 + 192

Surface area = 320in²

Hence the Surface area of the prism is 320in²
