Correct Answer: $350 \sqrt{3}$ cm 2
Solution :
Given: The base of a right prism is an equilateral triangle whose side is 10 cm. The height of this prism is $10 \sqrt{3}$ cm. The total surface area of the prism = [2(area of triangular base)] + [3(Area of rectangular sides)] The area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times{\text{side}^2}$ The area of a rectangle = length × breadth The area of an equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times{{10}^2}=25\sqrt3$ cm 2 The area of a rectangle $=10\times 10\sqrt3=100\sqrt3 $ cm 2 The total surface area of the prism $=2\times 25\sqrt3+3\times 100\sqrt3$ $=50\sqrt3+300\sqrt3=350 \sqrt{3}$ cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is $350 \sqrt{3}$ cm 2 .
