Respuesta :

the answer is D have a good day :)

The correct answer is 520 square units that is option D.

What is the formula for surface area of prism?

The formula used to find the surface area S of right prism is S=bh+pH.

In the formula b is the base, h is the height of the right angle triangle formed in the prism and p is the perimeter of the triangle, H is the width of the prism.

What is the unknown side of the triangle?

Let x be the hypotenuses of the right angle triangle of the prim.

Use Pythagoras theorem in the right angle triangle to find the value of x.

[tex]15^{2} +8^{2} =x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} =289[/tex]

On solving this we will get x=17.

What will be the perimeter of the triangle?

On adding all the sides of the triangle the perimeter of the triangle is 8+15+17=40.

What will be the surface area of the prism?

By calculation and given information, we have b=8, h=15, p=40 and H=10.

Now we will substitute all the values in the formula to find the surface area.

S=(8)(15)+(40)(10)=120+400=520 Square units.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
