(The surface area of the three-dimensional figure is the sum of the areas of its faces.
The faces of the right triangular prism are a 6-by-5 rectangle, a 6-by-4 rectangle, a 6-by-
3 rectangle, and two congruent right triangles, each of which has sides of lengths 4 and
3. The areas of the rectangular faces are, respectively, 6×5, or 30; 6×4, or 24; and 6×3,
