Find the literal area for the given prism.
H:26cm
L:15cm
W:6
1,092cm^2
998cm^2
1,272cm^2**
870cm^2
The lateral area is the sum of the areas of all of the vertical sides(4).
Lateral Area = 2(W*h) + 2(L*h).
To find the literal surface area of a prism, you need to calculate the area of each face and then add them up.
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
Area = 2(LW + LH + WH)
Given the following dimensions:
Height (H) = 26 cm
Length (L) = 15 cm
Width (W) = 6 cm
We can now plug these values into the formula.
Area = 2(15 * 6 + 15 * 26 + 6 * 26)
= 2(90 + 390 + 156)
= 2(636)
= 1272 cm^2
Therefore, the correct answer is 1,272 cm^2.
