Step-by-step explanation:

Required

How much wood needed (i.e. the surface area)

The question is incomplete, as the net of the triangular prism is not given. So, I will answer with the attached net.

To calculate the surface area, we simply calculate the area of each face of the net.

The area of the net is as follows:

Area= 2 * Area of Triangle + 2 * Area of 2 Congruent Rectangles + Area of the third rectangle

So, we have:

[tex]Area = 2 * \frac{1}{2} * 6 * 5 + 2 * 8 * 7 + 8 * 6[/tex]

[tex]Area = 30 + 112 + 48[/tex]

[tex]Area = 190cm^2[/tex]
