Find the lateral area for a regular hexagonal prism in which the base edges are 4 inches long and altitude is h=6 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lateral area is the surface area of the whole figure without the bases. So, we need to find the area of the 6 rectangles, not the hexagons on the ends, because those are the bases.
