Answer:
Total surface area of the prism = 920 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given prism has 2 similar triangular surfaces and 3 rectangular surfaces of different dimensions.
Area of one triangular side = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]
Area of 2 similar sides = Base × Height
= 8 × 15
= 120 cm²
Area of rectangular side with dimensions 17cm × 20cm
Area of the side = 17 × 20 = 340 cm²
Area of the second rectangular side with dimensions 8cm × 20cm
Area of the side = 8 × 20 = 160 cm²
Area of third rectangular side with dimensions 20cm × 15cm
Area of the side = 20 × 15 = 300 cm²
Total surface area of the given triangular prism = 120 + 340 + 160 + 300
= 920 cm²
