What is the formula for the lateral area of a triangular prism?
Length of prism * perimeter of triangular face.
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 lateral area of a hexagon?
Probably you meant to ask what is the lateral area of a hexagonal prism. In that case, it would be the perimeter of one of the bases times the height.
What are the lateral faces of a rectangular prism?
the lateral faces of a retangular prism is 2
How do you find the lateral area of a triangular prism?
The lateral area of a triangular prism is found by computing the perimeter of the triangular base (sum of the three sides) and multiplying it by the height of the prism. If the triangular base has sides of length s1, s2, and s3, and the height of the prism is h, then each lateral face of the prism would be a rectangle. The area of one face of the prism would be (s1 x h), the area of the second face of the prism would be (s2 x h), and the area of the third face of the prism would be (s3 x h). So the three lateral faces would have a total area of (s1 x h) + (s2 x h) + (s3 x h), or equivalently (s1 + s2 + s3) x h; i.e., (the perimeter of the triangular base) x (the height of the prism).
