Question

The lateral area of a right prism having a perimeter of 25 inches and a height of 5 inches is?

Answer 1

The lateral area is
`LA=125\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a right prism is equal to

`LA=PH`

where

P is the perimeter of the base of the prism

H is the height of the prism

in this problem we have

`P=25\ in`

`H=5\ in`

substitute

`LA=(25)(5)=125\ in^(2)`
