Lateral Area is the area of the sides of a solid, not including base.
A sphere has no base, and since it has no base, it has only a surface area and no lateral area.
A sphere has only a surface area and no lateral area since it has no base. The surface area is 4(pi)r2.
It is the lateral area (which is 1/2 the perimeter multiplied by the slant height), plus the area of the base.
The surface area of a right prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces. The formula for calculating the surface area of a right prism is 2 × (base area) + (lateral area), where the base area is the area of the base shape and the lateral area is the sum of the areas of the remaining faces. The lateral area can also be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base shape by the height of the prism.
