    The surface area of the prism will be given by:

    SA = (surface area of triangles) + (surface area of rectangles)

    surface area of triangles=2 (1/2*3*4) = 12 sq. units

    area rectangles

    the length of the hypotenuse will be:

    c²=a²+b²

    c=√ (3²+4²)

    c=√25

    c=5

    area = (3*5) + (4*5) + (5*5) = 60

    Total area=60+12=72 sq. units

    Answer: 72 sq. units
