The surface area of the prism is 48 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a net is simply the outer surface of a 3D shape flattened and spread out as a combination of 2D shapes.

With this info, the rest is relatively easy.

The net shows that there are 4 rectangular sides and 2 square sides. We also know the lengths and widths of all of them.

One rectangle is 5 units long and 2 units wide. One square is 2 units long and 2 units wide.

Let's put this into an equation.

4( 5*2 ) + 2( 2*2)

We are adding the areas of the rectangles and squares.

So, let's simplify that equation.

4(10) + 2(4)

40 + 8

48
