Answer: 1152 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
You can calculate the lateral area of a rectangular prism with the formula shown below:
[tex]L=Ph[/tex]
Where P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height.
The formula for calculate the perimeter of the base is:
[tex]P=2l+2w[/tex]
Then, the lateral area is:
[tex]L=(2l+2w)h=(2*3in+2*5in)(72in)=1152in^{2}[/tex]
(1 in=12 ft, therefore 6ft=72 in)
Answer:
1152 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a a right rectangular prism is given by the equation;
Lateral area=(2l+2w)h where l is the length , 5 inches, w is the width of 3 inches and h is height of (6×12=72 inches).
Lateral area= (2×5 + 2×3) × 72
=(16)× 72
=1152 square inches
