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.
