A metal sheet is to be bent into a right prism with a hexagonal base (side 4 cm) and height 6 cm. What is the lateral surface area?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Side of the hexagon = 4 cm
Height = 6 cm
According to the formula:
Lateral Surface Area = Perimeter of the base × Height
Perimeter of the hexagon = 6 × 4 = 24
Lateral Surface Area = 24 × 6 = 144 cm²
