Including the doors, what is the lateral surface area of the storage shed in square feet? 784 ft2 266 ft2 532 ft2 336 ft2

Answer 1

Answer:

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is the complete question.

The shed is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The lateral surface area of the storage shed can be calculated below. The lateral area is the sides of the prism.

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

where

l = length

h = height

w = width

h = 8 ft

l = 14 ft

w = 7 ft

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2 × 8 × (14 + 7)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 16 (21)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 336 ft²

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²
