Question

Please help! use the net to find the lateral area of the prisim

Answer 1

Answer: 832 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To calculate the lateral area of the prism by using the net you must:

- Calculate the perimeter of the base:

$P=2l+2w$

Where l is the lenght and w is the width:

$l=17cm\\w=15cm$

Then:

$P=2(17cm)+2(15cm)=64cm$

- Now you must multiply the perimeter by the height. The height is 13 cm.

Then, the lateral surface area is:

$LA=64cm*13cm=832cm^{2}$
