I apologize for the error in my response. Let me calculate the total area of the two bases of the triangular prism:
The formula to find the area of a triangle is (1/2)*base*height. Since the base of the triangle for both the triangular bases is given as 10in and the height is 8in, we can calculate the area of one triangle as (1/2)*10*8 = 40in^2.
Since there are two triangular bases in a prism, the total area of both bases would be 2*40in^2 = 80in^2.
So the correct total area of the two bases of the triangular prism is 80 square inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the previous options.
