To find the lateral area of a prism, you use the formula Lateral Area = perimeter of base x height. The formula for the surface area of a prism is Surface Area = Lateral Area + 2(base area).
Given that the bases are right triangles, we first need to find the perimeter of the base and the height of the prism.
The perimeter of a right triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides. In this case, the base is a right triangle, so you would add the three side lengths to get the perimeter.
Then, measure the height of the prism from one base to the other.
Let's calculate the lateral area and surface area using the given dimensions of the prism.
Use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The figure is not drawn to scale. The bases are right triangles. (1 point) Responses
