Answer 1

lateral surface area: 558 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

formula to find lateral surface area: ( perimeter of the base ) * ( height )

• Here the perimeter of the base: ( 8 + 11 + 12 ) → 31 inch

• Here the height is 18 inch

using the formula:

perimeter of base * height

→ 31 * 18

→ 558 inch²
