Answer:The lateral area is
$364\ cm^(2)$

Explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of the right prism is equal to

LA=Ph

where

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

Find the perimeter of the base P

$P=4(7)=28\ cm$ ----> the rhombus has four equal sides

$h=13\ cm$

substitute

$LA=28(13)=364\ cm^(2)$
