Answer:

Total area of the prism =[tex]360\,inches^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism is:

Area of the three rectangles+ Area of two triangles

Area of the rectangle:

For;

      [tex]Length=12\,inches\\Width=10\,inches[/tex]

     Area= [tex]Length\times Width[/tex]

       [tex]=12\times 10\\Area =120\,inches^2[/tex]

For,

      [tex]Length=10 inches\\Width=13 \,inches\\[/tex]

       [tex]=10\times 13\\Area=130\,inches^2[/tex]

For,

      [tex]Length=10\,inches\\Width=5\,inches[/tex]

        [tex]=10\times 5\\Area= 50\,inches^2[/tex]

For, Two Triangles:

[tex]Area= 2(\dfrac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height)\\\\Area=Base\times Height[/tex]

[tex]Base=12\,inches\\Height=5\,inches[/tex]

[tex]Area=12\times 5\\Area = 60\,inches^2[/tex]

Total area of the prism is :

       [tex]=120+130+50+60\\\\=360\,inches^2\\[/tex]
