Find the lateral area for the prism.
what formula do i us for this?
Lateral area=
Permimeter of the base * height of prism.
To find the lateral area of a prism, you can use the following formula:
Lateral Area = Perimeter of the base * Height of the prism
Therefore, you need to find the perimeter of the base of the prism and multiply it by the height of the prism.
To find the lateral area of a prism, you need to use the formula: Lateral Area = Perimeter of the base x Height. The perimeter of the base depends on the shape of the base. Since you haven't mentioned the specific shape of the base, I will provide you with the formulas for the most common base shapes:
1. For a rectangular prism (base in the shape of a rectangle):
- Perimeter of the base = 2(length + width)
- Lateral Area = 2(length + width) x Height
2. For a triangular prism (base in the shape of a triangle):
- Perimeter of the base = Sum of the lengths of all three sides of the triangle
- Lateral Area = (Sum of the lengths of all three sides of the triangle) x Height
3. For a hexagonal prism (base in the shape of a hexagon):
- Perimeter of the base = 6 x Length of one side of the hexagon
- Lateral Area = 6 x Length of one side of the hexagon x Height
Please specify the shape of the base, so I can provide you with the correct formula for finding the lateral area of your prism.
