Answer:

96 square units

Explanation:

The surface area of the prism can be calculated using its net.

The net consists of 3 rectangles and 2 triangles.

The surface area = area of the 3 rectangles + area of the 2 triangles

Area of 3 rectangles:

Area of 2 rectangles having the same dimension = 2(L*B) = 2(7*3) = 2(21) = 42 squared units

Area of the middle triangle = L*B = 7*6 = 42 square units.

Area of the 3 triangles = 42 + 42 = 84 square units.

Area of the 2 triangles:

Area = 2(½*b*h) = 2(½*6*2) = 6*2

Area of the 2 triangles = 12 square units

Surface area of the triangular prism = 84 + 12 = 96 square units.
