Answer:
Find the area of the 2 triangle faces first and then find the area of the 3 rectangle faces and add them together to get [tex]159cm^{2}\\[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the surface area of the 2 triangles
[tex]\frac{(6)(5.5)}{2}[/tex] x2 = [tex]33cm^2\\[/tex]
Step 2: Find the surface area of the 3 rectangles
(6x7) x 3 = [tex]126cm^2[/tex]
Step 3: Add the 2 surface areas together
[tex]33cm^2\\[/tex] + [tex]126cm^2[/tex] = [tex]159cm^2[/tex]
Therefore the surface area of the prism is [tex]159cm^{2}[/tex]
