so there is a triangular prism, the sides are all 5, the height is 4.3.
the answer choices are
F: 75ft squared
G:96.5ft squared
H:150ft squared
J:193ft squared
Also i need an explanation on how to solve this.

The answer here is 96.5 ft^2
If we look at just the 3 sides that make up the prism it is 3 rectangles of 5X5 which gives you 75. The ends are the issue. One end is a equilateral triangle that has side of 5 and a height of 4.3. This gives you and end with an area of 10.75. Therefore the S.A of the entire prism would be the 75 + 2(10.75)

The sides are all 5 what? 5 feet in area? five feet from tip to base?
