To find the lateral area of a prism, you need to first calculate the perimeter of the base and then multiply by the height of the prism.
In this case, since the base of the prism is not given, we can assume it is a rectangle. Let's assume the length of the base is 10m and the width is 8m.
The perimeter of the base is 2(length + width) = 2(10+8) = 2(18) = 36m.
The height of the prism is 9m.
Now, calculate the lateral area by multiplying the perimeter by the height: 36m * 9m = 324m^2.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the lateral area would be 324m^2.
Therefore, the closest option is 332 m2.
