    See example below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Top prism:

    To find the surface area of a prism, find the area of the triangular base and the area of each rectangular side.

    Area of the base is A = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 3 * 8 = 12. Since there are 2 bases, the area is 24.

    Area of the rectangular side is A = b*h = 2.8*5 = 14. Since there are two, the area is 2*14 = 42.

    The surface area of the prism is 24 + 28 = 52.

    Bottom prism:

    To find the surface area of the bottom prism, find the area of the base and each side of the house.

    A = 8*2.8 = 22.4

    A = 8*4.8 = 38.4 which occurs twice so it has a total area of 76.8

    A = 2.8*4.8 = 13.44 which occurs twice so it has an area of 26.88.

    The total volume is 33.6 + 107.52 = 141.12

    The total surface area is 52 + 22.4 + 76.8 + 26.88 = 178.08
