Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution : The area of the total surface of the prism = 360 cm 2 The base of the right-angled triangle = 5 cm The perpendicular of the right-angled triangle = 12 cm Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle = 13 cm Perimeter of base of prism = (5 + 12 + 13) = 30 cm Base area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × perpendicular = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 5 × 12 = 30 cm 2 Total surface area of prism = (Perimeter of base × Height + 2 × Base area) ⇒ 360 = 30 × height + 2 × 30 ⇒ Height = $\frac{360 - 60}{30}$ = 10 cm Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.
