Question

50 points Find the lateral surface area of the prism.

Answer 1

Area of two bigger rectangles

• 2LB
• 24(3)
• 2(12)ft²
• 24ft²

Area of two smaller rectangles

• 2×1.5(4)
• 2×6
• 12ft²

LSA

• 12+24
• 36ft²

Answer 2

Lateral surface area = 36 ft²

Explanation:

Formula:

Lateral surface area = perimeter of the base × height

………………………………………………………………

perimeter of the base = 2×(1.5+3) = 9

height = 4.

then

Lateral surface area = 9 × 4 = 36
