A regular hexagonal prism has a height of 12 cm and base edge length of 10 cm. Identify its lateral area and surface area.

L = 620 cm2 ; S = 942.6 cm2
L = 720 cm2 ; S = 1239.6 cm2
L = 720 cm2 ; S = 1759.2 cm2

Answer:

L = 720 cm² ; S = 1239.6 cm²

Explanation:

The area of a hexagon is given by the formula ...

A = (3/2)√3·s²

where s is the side length. Then the area of the two hexagonal bases will be ...

base area = 3√3·(10 cm)² ≈ 519.6 cm²

__

The lateral area is the product of the perimeter of the base and the height of the prism:

L = 6×(10 cm)×(12 cm)

L = 720 cm²

The totals surface area is the sum of lateral area and base area:

S = L + base area = (720 +519.6) cm²

S = 1239.6 cm²
