Question

Find the lateral area of the regular prism with height h , if the base of the prism is: Equilateral triangle with the side 4 cm and h =2.5 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

the lateral area of the regular prism is 30 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the base of the regular prism, b 4cm

height of the prism, h = 2.5 cm

The lateral area of the regular prism is calculated as the product of the base perimeter and height of the prism.

L.A = P x h

where;

P is the perimeter of the base = 3 x 4cm (equilateral triangle has equal sides)

P = 12 cm

L.A = 12 cm x 2.5 cm

L.A = 30 cm²

Therefore, the lateral area of the regular prism is 30 cm².
