1. Calculate the Surface Area of each of the following triangular-based prisms.

a)
The diagram shows a triangular-based prism with a base triangle having legs 30 cm and 48 cm, and a prism length of 60 cm. There is also a label of 25 cm, which appears to be intended as the hypotenuse. However, if the legs are 30 cm and 48 cm, the hypotenuse would be $\sqrt{30^2 + 48^2} = \sqrt{900 + 2304} = \sqrt{3204} \approx 56.59$ cm, not
