What is the surface area of the solid shown below?

Answer:
[tex]\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the triangular prism consists of three rectangles and two triangles.
Rectangle One - 5 x 12 = 60 cm^2
Rectangle Two - 4 x 12 = 48 cm^2
Rectangle Three - 3 x 12 = 36 cm^2
Triangles - 2 x 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 12 cm^2
Thus, the total surface area of the solid is [tex]60+48+36+12=\boxed{\text{C. }156\:\mathrm{cm^3}}[/tex]
