Find the lateral area of the prism.
So first of all do you know the formula for area
I am pretty that lateral area = The area of only all the sides that aren't the base. For this problem, I am pretty sure you would only find the total area of 4 of the sides because 2 of the sides would be considered the base. To find this, we just need to find the area of the 4 squares added up together. Area of a square = LxW The length and width of all the 4 square are 12 so you would just do (12*12) which is only 1 square, then multiply that by 4 to get the area of 4 squares.
