Question

What is the lateral surface area of the prism shown below? 9 m 6m 6 m 10 m

Answer 1

we are asked to find the surface area of a prism. To do that, we will find the areas of each lateral rectangle and the areas of the top and bottom triangles.

The areas of the rectangles are:

`\begin{gathered} A_1=(10)(6)=60 \\ A_2=(10)(6)=60 \\ A_3=(10)(50)=50 \end{gathered}`

To determine the ara of the top triangle we will use the following formula:
