Answer 1

Answer:

A. 24+24+120+160+200

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the triangular prism= addition of the area of each shape that forms the prism

There are two triangles

Area of a triangle=1/2*base*height

=1/2*8*6

=1/2*48

=24

Area of two triangles=24+24

There are 3 rectangles with different dimensions

Back rectangle=length×width

=20×6

=120

Bottom rectangle=length ×width

=20x8

=160

Top rectangle=length × width

=20×10

=200

Surface area =Area of two triangles + Back rectangle + Bottom rectangle + Top rectangle

=24+24+120+160+200

Answer 2

A: 24+24+120+160+200 :)
