Considering the prism as a rectangular prism.

Dimensions of the prism are

a = 6

b = 5

c = 2.

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac.

Substitute the values of a = 6, b = 5, and c = 2 in the above equation.

Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 * 6 * 5 + 2 * 5 * 2 + 2 * 6 * 2

                                                           = 60 + 20 + 24

                                                           = 104.

Therefore, surface area of a rectangular prism is 104 square units.
