It is incorrect to say that sphere has lateral area. First sphere do not have sides like other geometric figure. In fact a line or plane can intersect the surface of a sphere in just one point. Sphere has no lateral side. It is enough to say surface area of sphere than lateral surface area of the sphere.

Is lateral area and surface area the same?
Probably not. I suspect that " lateral area means the area of a horizontal section. For example, imagine a sphere of 2 metres diameter. It's lateral area is the area of a circle of two metres diameter. A = (Pi x 2 x 2)/4 = 3.14. It's surface are is (4 x PI x 2 x 2)/4 = 12.57
What is the lateral and surface area of a right prism?
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all the lateral faces. A lateral face is not a base. The surface area is the total area of all faces.Lateral Area: The lateral area of a right prism with base perimeter P and height h is L=Ph.Surface Area: The surface area of a right prism with lateral area L and base area is B is S = L + 2B, or S = Ph + 2B.
What is the difference between lateral area and surface area?
the formulas for lateral area dont include the figures bases. surface area does.
How do you get the formula of the area of the sphere?
Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2
What is the lateral area of a cube?
find the area of a base and then multiply by six. Then you square it. or 6 x ba (2)=lateral area
