Question

Find the lateral area of the prism.

120 sq. in.
150 sq. in.
720 sq. in.

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case, we must find the lateral area of the pentagonal prism shown in the figure.

By definition:

`A_ {l} = P_ {b} * h`

Where:

`A_(l)`: Is the lateral area

`P_ {b}`: It is the perimeter of the base

h: It's the height

Substituting the values we have:

`A_ {l} = 20 \ in * 6 \ in\\A_ {l} = 120 \ in ^ 2`

Answer:

`A_ {l} = 120 \ in ^ 2`
