The formula for finding the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = 2*(base area) + (perimeter of base)*(height)

First, we find the base area:
Base area = 0.5 * base * height = 0.5 * 17 * 15 = 127.5 cm^2

Next, we find the perimeter of the base:
Perimeter of base = 3 * side length = 3 * 17 = 51 cm

Now we can find the surface area:
Surface Area = 2*(127.5) + 51*11 = 255 + 561 = 816 cm^2

Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 816 square centimeters.

None of the given options match the correct answer, but the closest one is 779 square meters.
