Yes, I am certain that decomposing the triangular prism into two triangles and three rectangles, and finding the sum of the area of all five shapes is a valid method for calculating the surface area of a triangular prism. This approach allows you to break down the complex shape into simpler shapes whose areas are easier to calculate, and then sum them up to get the total surface area.
