The lateral area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by finding the perimeter of one of the bases and then multiplying it by the height of the prism.
Perimeter of the base = 2(3 m + 5 m) = 2(8 m) = 16 m
Height of the prism = 8 m
Lateral area = Perimeter of the base * Height of the prism
Lateral area = 16 m * 8 m = 128 m2
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the lateral area is 128 m2.
Therefore, the closest option is 127 m2.
Answer: 127 m2
Perimeter of the base = 2(3 m + 5 m) = 2(8 m) = 16 m
Height of the prism = 8 m
Lateral area = Perimeter of the base * Height of the prism
Lateral area = 16 m * 8 m = 128 m2
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the lateral area is 128 m2.
Therefore, the closest option is 127 m2.
