Correct Answer: 360 sq cm
Solution : Given: Height = 10 cm Two sides = 5 cm and 12 cm $\therefore$ Area of the base of the right prism = $\frac{1}{2}×5×12$ = 30 sq cm Other side of the right-angled triangle $=\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=\sqrt{25+144} = 13$ Curved surface area = perimeter of base × height = (5 + 12 + 13) × 10 = 300 sq cm $\therefore$ Total surface area = curved surface area + 2 (area of base) = 300 + 2 × 30 = 360 sq cm Hence, the correct answer is 360 sq cm.
