Answer:

The surface area is: 225 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Good Day mate!

I'm here to answer your question!

Area of each triangular base:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(7.5)(10)=37.5[/tex]

Area of the rectangular faces:

[tex]5 \times 10=50[/tex]

[tex]5 \times 12.5=62.5[/tex]

[tex]7.5 \times 5=37.5[/tex]

Add to find the surface area:

[tex]37.5+37.5+50+62.5+37.5=225[/tex]

Thus, the surface area is : 225²
