Question

What is the lateral area of a rectangular prism if the base edges are 3 centimeters and 4 centimeters and the height is 6 centimeters?

Answer 1

LSA of prisms -> base perimeter x height

Given:
base edge/sides -> 3 cm x 4cm
height -> 6 cm

what do you think you should do first?

Answer 2

base times height?

Answer 3

right! but you don't have a base perimeter given...what would you do to fix that?

Answer 4

well, im not really sure, but i think you multiply 4 by 2 and 3 by 2 and then add them up. So they will equal 14

Answer 5

right! so now you have a base perimeter of 14 cm and a height of 6 cm. what's next?

Answer 6

You will multiply and get 84cm2!?! :D
