The given image shows a triangular prism. To find the surface area and volume, we need to use the following formulas:

1. Surface Area of the Triangular Prism:

The surface area (SA) is calculated by adding the areas of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular sides.

1. Area of the triangular base:

   • The triangle has a base of $3.2 \, \text{cm}$ and a height of $2.4 \, \text{cm}$.
   • Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.2 \times 2.4$.

2. Areas of the three rectangles:

   • Rectangle 1: $3.2 \, \text{cm} \times 4.0 \, \text{cm}$.
   • Rectangle 2: $4.0 \, \text{cm} \times 2.0 \, \text{cm}$.
   • Rectangle 3: $2.0 \, \text{cm} \times 3.2 \, \text{cm}$.

3. Total Surface Area:

   • SA = $2 \times$ (area of the triangle) + (areas of the three rectangles).

2. Volume of the Triangular Prism:

The volume (V) is found by multiplying the area of the triangular base by the prism's length (4.0 cm).

• Volume = (area of the triangular base) $\times$ prism length.

Let's calculate these values:The calculations give us the following results:

• Surface Area: $36.5 \, \text{cm}^2$ (rounded to the nearest tenth)
• Volume: $15.4 \, \text{cm}^3$ (rounded to the nearest tenth)
