Surface Area = 96in³
To find the surface area of a triangular prism we can use the following equation
[tex]SA = Perimeter * Height[/tex]
The perimeter is the perimeter of one base, and the height is the length of the lines connecting both bases. Now that we know that we can input that into the equation
[tex]SA = (5 + 4 + 3)8\\SA = (12)8\\SA = 96\\[/tex]
