well the area of each triangular side is (1/2) * 5 * 8 = 20 4 sides so 80 cm^2 for the sides Your question does not specify if the bottom is included in which case add 25 to 80 and get 105 cm^2

Are you a teacher/monitor/helper on Questions LLC. Not trying to be a stalker but your profile says you've been on here, by how far I have looked, since 2014. You clearly are not a student.........most likely.
