what is the lateral area of a prism that has sides of 12 12 12 inches?

Answer 1

This is the picture

Answer 2

Well, that is a cube and to find the Lateral Area of a cube, you must have this formula.

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{A~=~4s^2}\)

s = sides = \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{12}\)

So plug in the value(s).

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{A~=~4\times12^2}\)

First do the exponent, so what is \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{12^2}\)?
