To find the lateral surface area of a regular pentagonal prism, we need to calculate the area of each of the five rectangular faces and add them together.

Given that the base of the prism is a regular pentagon, we know that each side of the pentagon has a length of 6 units (as shown in the net).

The lateral faces of the prism are rectangles, with a length of 6 units (same as the side of the pentagon) and a height equal to the height of the prism.

From the net, we can see that the height of the prism is 8 units.

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the pentagonal prism is:
Lateral Surface Area = 5 * (6 units * 8 units)
Lateral Surface Area = 5 * 48
Lateral Surface Area = 240 square units

So, the lateral surface area of the regular pentagonal prism is 240 square units.
