Answer:

  b.  2,192 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the two triangular bases is ...

  2 × (1/2)(b)(h) = b·h = (14 cm)(24 cm) = 336 cm^2

The lateral area is the height multiplied by the perimeter of the base:

  (29 cm)((25 + 25 + 14) cm) = 1856 cm^2

So, the total surface area is the base area plus the lateral area:

  total area = 336 cm^2 + 1856 cm^2 = 2192 cm^2 . . . . . matches B
