To find the lateral area of a prism, you multiply the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism.
Given that the bases are right triangles, we will find the perimeter of the base using the Pythagorean theorem and then multiply by the height.
Let's assume the base of the right triangle is a = 8m and b = 6m. Then the hypotenuse c = sqrt(8^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(100) = 10m.
The perimeter of the base = a + b + c = 8 + 6 + 10 = 24m.
Given that the height of the prism is 30m, the lateral area = 24m * 30m = 720 m^2.
To find the total surface area, we also need to consider the area of the two right triangles as the bases. Each triangle's area = 0.5 * a * b = 0.5 * 8m * 6m = 24 m^2. Since there are two triangles, the total base area = 2 * 24m^2 = 48m^2.
The total surface area = lateral area + 2 * base area = 720 m^2 + 2 * 48 m^2 = 720 m^2 + 96 m^2 = 816 m^2.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the lateral area is 720 m^2 and the surface area is 816 m^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 720 m^2; 816 m^2.
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.

It has to be one of the following choices.
Apologies for the oversight. Let's recalculate based on the given options.
Since the perimeter of the base was calculated as 24m, the lateral area will be 24m * 30m = 720 m^2.
To find the total surface area, we also need to include the area of the two right triangles as the bases. Each base triangle's area = 0.5 * 8m * 6m = 24 m^2. Since there are two triangles, the total base area = 2 * 24m^2 = 48m^2.
The total surface area = lateral area + 2 * base area = 720 m^2 + 48 m^2 = 768 m^2.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the lateral area is 720 m^2 and the surface area is 768 m^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 720 m2; 768 m2.
