Use the net to find the lateral area of the prism 8cm 15cm 17cm 11cm

We are tasked to solve for the lateral area of the prism which the measurements are given below:

s1 = 8cm

s2=15cm

s3=17cm

s4=11cm

The formula for solving lateral area of the rectangular prism is LA = hP where h is the height and P for the perimeter.

Solving for P, we have:

P = 8+15+17+11

P=51

The expression for lateral area LA = 51*h.
