To find the lateral area of a prism, you can use the formula:
Lateral Area = Perimeter of base x height
Given that the base of the prism is a rectangle with sides of 25 inches and 24 inches, we can calculate the perimeter of the base:
Perimeter = 2*(25 + 24) = 2*(49) = 98 inches
The height of the prism is 26 inches.
Therefore, the lateral area of the prism is:
Lateral Area = 98 inches x 26 inches = 2548 inches squared
So, the lateral area of the prism is 2548 inches squared.
Use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the prism.
