How do you solve this problem? The base of a rectangular prism is 6 in - 7 in. What is the lateral area of the prism?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

you need to have the height

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Lateral area = Perimeter of base \(\times\) Height

Well there is a diagram and it looks the height is 7...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it just be 7 x 26 ?
