The lateral area L.A. of the right triangular prism is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces, which are rectangles with length the height (l = h = 15) and wide the sides of the triangle (w1 = leg1 = 3, w2 = leg2 = 5, w3 = hypotenuse = 7).

So we have:

L.A. = (15 x 3) + (15 x 5) + (15 x 7)

L.A. = 15(3 + 5 + 7)

L.A. = 225

Thus, we can also say that the lateral area of a prism is the product of the perimeter of its base with the height of the prism.

What is the formula for finding the volume of a triangular based prism?

Volume = Area of the base X height of prism. This formula works for all prisms, not just triangular prisms. Area of a triangle = height of triangle X 1/2 X base of triangle.
