Question

Find the following measure for this figure.

Lateral area =

12 square units
24 square units
36 square units

Answer 1

the answer is 36 square units

Explanation:

Lateral Area, have always used units squared

The lateral area of a figure is the area of the non-base faces only. When a prism has its bases facing up and down, the lateral area is the area of the vertical faces. The lateral area of a right prism can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism. This is summarized by the formula: LA 5 hP.

Answer 2

36 square units

Explanation:

Lateral Area, use units squared (centimeters squared, inches squared, and so on).

The lateral area of a figure is the area of the non-base faces only. When a prism has its bases facing up and down, the lateral area is the area of the vertical faces. (For a rectangular prism, any pair of opposite faces can be bases.) The lateral area of a right prism can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism. This is summarized by the formula: LA 5 hP.
