Question

The LATERAL Surface Area for the shape below is ____________. (assume the bases are the ends on the top and bottom of the net)

Answer 1

The lateral surface area of the shape is 276 m²

Explanation:

Given:

Length, l = 15 m

Height, h = 6 m

Width, w = 8 m

Lateral surface area = ?

We know,

Lateral surface area of rectangular prism = (2l + 2w)h

Substituting the value in the formula we get:

A = (2 X 15 + 2 X 8)6

A = (30 + 16) 6

A = 276 m²

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the shape is 276 m²
