The base of a rectangular prism is 6 inches - 9 inches. what is the lateral area of the prism

To find the lateral area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the area of all four sides excluding the base and the top.

Given that the base of the prism is 6 inches by 9 inches, the dimensions of the base are length = 9 inches and width = 6 inches.

To find the lateral area, you need to calculate the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the height of the prism.

Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the base:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 * (9 inches + 6 inches)
Perimeter = 2 * (15 inches)
Perimeter = 30 inches

Step 2: Multiply the perimeter by the height of the prism:
Lateral Area = Perimeter * Height
Lateral Area = 30 inches * Height

Since the height of the prism is not given, you cannot calculate the exact lateral area. The lateral area depends on the height of the prism.

To find the lateral area of a rectangular prism, you need to calculate the sum of the areas of all its faces excluding the base and top.

To find the lateral area, you can use the following formula:
Lateral Area = 2 * (length * height + width * height)

In this case, the base of the rectangular prism is given as 6 inches x 9 inches.

Let's use the formula to find the lateral area:
Lateral Area = 2 * (length * height + width * height)
= 2 * (6 inches * height + 9 inches * height)
= 2 * (15 inches * height) (simplify the expressions)
= 30 inches * height (multiply)

Since the height of the prism is not given, we cannot find the exact value of the lateral area. However, we have expressed it in terms of the height as 30 inches multiplied by the height.

We need the height.

A = 2*W*h + 2*L*h
A = 2*6*h + 2*9*h
