Question

Determine the lateral area of ​​a quadrangular prism of volume of 16 cm3, if the height measures 4 cm. The answer says it is 16sqrt (3) cm.... Pleaseeee! I become a fan and give medals

Keep that in mind:
The volume of any prism	        = area of the base × height of the prism 
The lateral area of a prism	= perimeter of the base × height of the prism 
The total area of a prism	        = lateral area + [ 2 × base area]

Look at this...

$$volume=abh$$
$$16 cm ^{3}=ab*4cm$$
$$ab=\frac{ 16cm ^{3} }{ 4 cm }$$
$$ab=4cm ^{2}$$

3mar · Answer

You have:
- volume of 16 cm3
- height measures 4 cm

and the formula is:
The volume of any prism = area of the base × height of the prism 

Find the base area
