Answer 1

To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we need to consider the areas of both the triangular bases and the three rectangular faces.

Given dimensions for the triangular prism:
- The lengths of the triangular base sides: 17m, 17m, and 15m (assuming it is an isosceles triangle).
- The height of the triangle: 11m.
- The length of the prism (the distance between the two triangular bases): 16m.

1. **Calculate the area of the triangular base:**
Since the triangle is isosceles with equal sides of 17m and a base of 15m, we can use Heron's formula to find the area.

The semi-perimeter (s) of the triangle is:
\[
s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{17 + 17 + 15}{2} = 24.5 \text{ m}
\]

Using Heron's formula,
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} = \sqrt{24.5 \times (24.5 - 17) \times (24.5 - 17) \times (24.5 - 15)}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{24.5 \times 7.5 \times 7.5 \times 9.5} = \sqrt{24.5 \times 56.25 \times 9.5}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{13106.25} \approx 114.5 \text{ m}^2
\]

2. **Calculate the area of the three rectangular faces:**
- Two of the rectangles will have dimensions 17m (height from the side of the triangle) by 16m (length of the prism).
- One rectangle will have dimensions 15m by 16m (base of the triangle by the length of the prism).

\[
\text{Area of the first two rectangles} = 2 \times (17 \times 16) = 2 \times 272 = 544 \text{ m}^2
\]
\[
\text{Area of the third rectangle} = (15 \times 16) = 240 \text{ m}^2
\]

3. **Calculate the total surface area:**
\[
\text{Total Surface Area} = 2 \times \text{Area of triangular base} + \text{Area of the three rectangles}
\]
\[
\text{Total Surface Area} = 2 \times 114.5 + 544 + 240 = 229 + 544 + 240 = 1013 \text{ m}^2
\]

However, since rounding errors or assumption errors may arise, double-checking the base triangle assumptions here might correct the total slightly. Also, look into each possible step for further precision if it's not approximately matching options provided.

Given the choices provided in the problem:
- Options fall close or bracket around probable choice but not exact to boxed integer results.

For provided correct closest choices, among:
a) 768
b) 822
c) 790
d) 779

**The correct answer based on our detailed method approximates, duiz doesn't match exact fixed options, logical margin choice aligns nearer to 822 m² as best expectation fit.**

Therefore:
\[
\boxed{822}
