SA = 1244.64 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached figure

The formula of the surface area of the prism is SA = 2B + PH, where

The base of the prism is a regular hexagon with side 8 cm

If you join each vertex of the hexagon with its center you will form 6 congruent triangles with base 8 cm and height 6.93 cm

The area of the hexagon = 6 × area of a triangle

∵ The base of the triangle = 8 cm

∵ Its height = 6.93 cm

- The formula of the area of a triangle is A = × base × height

∴ Area of the triangle = × 8 × 6.93 = 27.72 cm²

- Lets find the area of the hexagon

∴ The area of the hexagon = 6 × 27 .72 = 166.32 cm²

∴ B = 166.32 cm²

The formula of the perimeter of the regular hexagon is P = 6 × s, where s is the length of its side

∵ The side of the hexagon is 8 cm

∴ P = 6 × 8

∴ P = 48 cm

∵ The distance between the two bases is 19 cm

∴ H = 19 cm

Substitute the values of B, P and H in the formula of the surface area above

∵ SA = 2(166.32) + (48)(19)

∴ SA = 332.64 + 912

∴ SA = 1244.64 square centimeters

answer: a.
