so D

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Sorry about that...it's actually the PERIMETER of the base times the height

OpenStudy (.whitedragon.):

so then b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you go on Google and type in lateral area for rectangular prism, a calculator should come up. Just like there is a calculator for surface area and volume.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

B would be correct

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1397136176504:dw| Using the sides: 2 * (14 m * 6 m) + 2 * ( 9 m * 6 m) = 276 m^2 Using the perimeter: (14 m + 14 m + 9 m + 9 m) * 6 m = 276 m^2
