The surface area of the triangular prism in the given image is calculated as: 2,088 cm².

What is the surface area of a triangular prism?

The formula for the surface area of triangular prism = (Perimeter of the base × Length of the prism) + (2 × Base Area) = (S1 +S2 + S3)L + bh

where we have, in this case, the variables:

Perimeter of the base (P) = 18 + 30 + 24 = 72 cm

Length of the prism (L) = 23 cm

2 * Base area = 18 * 24 = 432 cm²

Plug in the values:

Surface area = (72)23 + 432

Surface area = 2,088 cm²
