The lateral area would be 13*4- that's for one lateral face, but because this is 3D and there are 2 lateral faces, you's multiply your product by 2

anonymous · Answer

13*4=52

2  sets of 52= 104

i have to pick one

anonymous · Answer

If those are your only choices, then I'm confused. Wait- is lateral area in your school the same thing as surface area?

anonymous · Answer

Like if you were going to wrap a box with wrapping paper, would the amount of paper you used be lateral area?

anonymous · Answer

If so, then it would be 172. But I'm not sure if that's what your teacher means.
