The lateral surface area is equivalent to 864
The LSA (Lateral Surface Area) of a prism is given by the formula:
LSA = 2 Bh
- B is the base perimeter
- h is the height
For a rectangular prism (which has a rectangular base):
p = 2(l + b)
Given your values:
P = 2(4 + 5)
P = 2(9)
P = 18
Now, substitute this into the LSA formula:
L = 2 * 24 * 18
L = 864
Therefore the lateral surface area is equivalent to 864
