Question

Use the net to find the lateral area of the prism. ___cm^2

Answer 1

Answer:

$900\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can notice that the the prism provided is a rectangular prism.

By definition, The lateral  area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the  perimeter of its base by its height.

The height is:

$height=15\ cm$

Then, the perimeter of the base is:

$Perimeter=17\ cm+17\ cm+13\ cm+13\ cm=60\ cm$

Then the lateral area is:

$LA=60\ cm*15\ cm\\\\LA=900\ cm^2$
