Lateral area of the prism excluding the two ends: (3*20)+(4*20)+(5*20) = 240 square units
The lateral faces of a prism - pentagonal or other - are rectangular.
The lateral faces will be parallelograms, and the opposite faces will be congruent. In a right prism, the lateral faces will be rectangles.
The lateral faces of a prism are either squares, rectangles or parallelograms. If the prism is oblique then the faces must be parallelograms and not rectangles or squares.
technically a square prism would be a cube, so i guess not. Ignore that answer. There IS a square prism. A cube has all of its faces congruent and squares. A square prism can have 2 square bases and 4 rectangular lateral faces making it a square prism. Think of it as a rectangular prism right? Well replace the rectangle bases with squares and you have a square prism!
It is the perimeter of a triangle times the length of the prism (in square units).
For a square prism, a rectangular prism, or a cube you multiply length times width times height.
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the area of the lateral faces
Area of the right section x Length of the lateral edge
both have lateral face shapes that are riangles
the lateral faces of a retangular prism is 2
It is p*h square units.
Lateral area of the prism excluding the two ends: (3*20)+(4*20)+(5*20) = 240 square units
The lateral faces of a prism - pentagonal or other - are rectangular.
The volume of the rectangular prism would mathematically be 175 cm3.
That depends on how many faces this particular prism has.
