Question

Please help! use the net to find the lateral area of the prisim

Answer 1

Answer: 832 cm².

Explanation:

1. To calculate the lateral area of the prism by using the net you must:

- Calculate the perimeter of the base:

`P=2l+2w`

Where l is the lenght and w is the width:

`l=17cm\\w=15cm`

Then:

`P=2(17cm)+2(15cm)=64cm`

- Now you must multiply the perimeter by the height. The height is 13 cm.

Then, the lateral surface area is:

`LA=64cm*13cm=832cm^(2)`
