Answer:

Option b. 256 units2

Explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of the 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

The base is a square

so

$P=4(8)=32\ units$

we have

$H=8\ units$

substitute in the formula

$LA=(32)(8)=256\ units^(2)$
