The net of a triangular prism is shown below. What is the surface area of the prism? A. 128 cm^2 B. 152 cm^2 C. 176 cm^2 D. 304 cm^2

Answer:
B. 152 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area using a net, do this:
Take apart the figure. We see that there are three rectangles and two triangles. Find the area of each ([tex]A=l*w[/tex]) and then add the values together:
The first rectangle on the left is the same as the one on the right.
[tex]5*8=40[/tex]
Two measures are 40 cm².
The middle rectangle is:
[tex]6*8=48[/tex]
48 cm²
The formula for the area of a triangle is [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*b*h[/tex]:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*6*4\\\\A=\frac{1*6*4}{2}\\\\A=\frac{24}{2}\\\\ A=12[/tex]
The area of the two triangles is 12 cm².
Now add the values:
[tex]40+40+48+12+12=152[/tex]
The area of the figure is 152 cm².
