    147 in2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (Assuming the height is 4 1/2 inches = 4.5 inches)

    We need to calculate the area of all six faces of the prism

    Two faces have the sides 8 and 3, which area is 8*3 = 24 in2

    two other faces have the sides 8 and 4.5, which area is 8*4.5 = 36 in2

    the two last faces have the sides 3 and 4.5, which area is 3*4.5 = 13.5 in2

    So, summing up all the areas, we have:

    24 + 24 + 36 + 36 + 13.5 + 13.5 = 147 in2
