a) 120 centimeters squared. b) 132 centimeters squared. c) 144 centimeters squared. d) 160 centimeters squared.

Option C) 144 centimeters squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The surface area of a prism is equal to

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

P is the perimeter of the  base

L is the length or height of the prism

Find the area of the base B

---> the base is a right triangle

Find the perimeter of the base P

---> is the perimeter of a triangle

we have

Find the surface area SA

b
