Find the lateral surface area of prism when the bases are 6 and 2 and the height is 10

Sagot :

Answer:

160 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area is the area of the considered plane side of a given figure or shape. To calculate that of a prism, it is the product of the base of a prism and its height.

Thus for the given prism;

lateral surface area = (perimeter of its base) x height

perimeter of the base = 6 + 6 + 2 + 2

                                     = 16

Lateral surface area of the prism = 16 x 10

                                     = 160 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the prism is 160 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex].
