Answer:
1) The lateral area is LA=95 cm²
2) The surface area is SA=275 cm²
The answer is the option D) 95 cm² ; 275 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The surface area of the box (rectangular prism) is equal to
SA=2B+LA
where
B is the area of the base
LA is the lateral area of the box
<em>Find the lateral area</em>
LA=PH
where
P is the perimeter of the base
H is the height of the box
substitute
LA=2[15+6](2.26)=94.92 cm²
Round to the nearest whole number
LA=95 cm²
<em>Find the area of the base B</em>
B=(15)(6)=90 cm²
Find the surface area of the box
SA=2B+LA
substitute the values
SA=2(90)+95=275 cm²
