Answer 1

Prisms use the following equation for surface area.
\(SA = 2B+ph\)

B being the bottom area of the prism, p being the perimeter of the base, and h being the height of the prism.

In your case, it'd be:
\(SA = 2(17.2\times 3)+((17.2 \times 2)+(3 \times 2))(5.5)\)

Solve that and you'll have the Surface Area of your Prism.

Answer 2

As for the lateral prism, the equation is a bit shorter.
\(LSA = Ph\)

Yours would be:
\(LSA = 2(17.2 + 3) \times 5.5\)

Solve that and you will have your Lateral Surface Area of the Prism.
