Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a three dimensional composite figure formed by a triangular prism stacked on top of a rectangular prism. The top, right, and front faces are visible. The faces and edges that are not visible are indicated by dashed lines. The rectangular prism has a length of 32 meters, a width of 10 meters, and a height of 8 meters. The triangular prism has a rectangular base that is aligned on all edges with the rectangular prism below. The perpendicular height of the triangular prism is marked by a right angle symbol from the top vertex to the center of the triangular face. The height of the triangular face of the prism measures 12 meters. The sides of the triangular faces of the triangular prism measure 20 meters.
What is the total surface area of the figure?

The total surface area of the figure can be found by calculating the surface area of each individual face and then adding them together.
For the rectangular prism:
- Top and bottom faces: 2(32m * 10m) = 640m^2
- Front and back faces: 2(32m * 8m) = 512m^2
- Left and right faces: 2(10m * 8m) = 160m^2
Total surface area for rectangular prism: 640m^2 + 512m^2 + 160m^2 = 1312m^2
For the triangular prism:
- Front face: (1/2 * base * height) = (1/2 * 20m * 12m) = 120m^2
- Back face: (1/2 * base * height) = (1/2 * 20m * 12m) = 120m^2
- Three lateral faces: 3(1/2 * base * height) = 3(1/2 * 20m * 8m) = 240m^2
Total surface area for triangular prism: 120m^2 + 120m^2 + 240m^2 = 480m^2
Total surface area of the figure: 1312m^2 + 480m^2 = 1792m^2
Therefore, the total surface area of the figure is 1792 square meters.
