It is impossible to determine the lateral area of the prism with just two measurements (6 ft and 20 ft). We also need the height of the prism to calculate the lateral area using the formula LA = ph, where p is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined without additional information.
