Question

Find the lateral area of the prism. 120 sq. in. 150 sq. in. 720 sq. in.

Answer 1

For this case, we must find the lateral area of the pentagonal prism shown in the figure.

By definition:

$A_ {l} = P_ {b} * h$

Where:

$A_{l}$: Is the lateral area

$P_ {b}$: It is the perimeter of the base

h: It's the height

Substituting the values we have:

$A_ {l} = 20 \ in * 6 \ in\\A_ {l} = 120 \ in ^ 2$

Answer:

$A_ {l} = 120 \ in ^ 2$
