Q:

What is The lateral area of a right rectangular prism that has rectangular faces measuring 3” x 5” and a height of 6 feet

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: 1152 in²Step-by-step explanation: You can calculate the lateral area of a rectangular prism with the formula shown below: [tex]L=Ph[/tex] Where P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height. The formula for calculate the perimeter of the base is: [tex]P=2l+2w[/tex] Then, the lateral area is: [tex]L=(2l+2w)h=(2*3in+2*5in)(72in)=1152in^{2}[/tex] (1 in=12 ft, therefore 6ft=72 in)
