The lateral surface area of the prism is 384 square units.
The surface area of the right square prism has 6 sides the base and top are the same and the other side or usually called lateral also has the same size. The equation of lateral surface area can be written as
LA = 4S
LA = 4( l x h )
where LA is the lateral surface area of a prism, S is the side area, l is the base length of the prism and h is the height of the prism.
From the question above, we know that :
height = 12
length = 8
By substituting the parameter, we can determine the lateral surface area
A = 4( l x h )
A = 4( 8 x 12)
A = 384
Hence, the lateral surface area of the prism is 384 square units.
