Answer:

174 CM²

Explanation:

First we split up the triangular prism into shapes we can better understand (2 triangles, and 2 rectangles)

We solve the area of the triangles by using the formula to the area of a triangle (B·H÷2) 8·6÷2=24

There are 2 triangles therefore we get 2*24 which is 48 CM²

Now we calculate the area of the rectangles (7·10=70, 8·7=56)

Finally we add up all the numbers (70+56+48=174 CM²)

Therefore the surface area of the triangular prism is 174 CM², respectively.
