Question

Use the net to find the lateral area of the prism.

cm^2

Answer 1

Lateral Surface Area of the prism = 900 cm²

Explanation:

Length of two rectangles = 13 cm

Breadth of two rectangles = 15 cm

So, Area of two rectangles = 2 × 13 × 15

= 390 cm²

Length of other two rectangles = 17 cm

Breadth of two rectangles = 15 cm

So, Area of two rectangles = 2 × 17 × 15

= 510 cm²

Lateral surface of the prism = Area of the 2 rectangles + Area of other 2 rectangles

⇒ Lateral Surface Area of prism = 390 + 510

Thus, Lateral Surface Area of the prism = 900 cm²
