@jhonyy9 do u think u could help me :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lateral area is just surface area, minus top and bottom areas

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have 4 sides, hl + hw + hl + hw

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the lw and lw would account for the top and bottom that we need to omit

OpenStudy (amistre64):

looks like that simplifies to: 2h(l+w)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so2(3)(4+6) 6(10) lateral areal=60??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so then how do u find the volume then??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lateral means "sides"; so lateral area omits any top and bottom parts

OpenStudy (amistre64):

volume of a cube? i thought even kittens were born with that knowledge .... hlw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh so take 4(60)=240 so that would be lateral area

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not real sure how you got there ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

LA = 60 Vol = 6(4)(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh ok I got confused when u mentoned the sides LOL Thanks so much for the help :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more questin LOL the label is ft. so would both my answers be in feet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ft^2 for area ft^3 for volume
