Answer:

264 unit^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area  is the sum of the 2 sides of area 5*11 and the 2 sides of area 7^11.

That would be 2 * 5 * 11 + 2*7*11

=  264 unit^2.

For this case we have that by definition, the lateral area of a prism is given by:

[tex]LA = 2ac + 2bc[/tex]

Where:

a: It is the height

b: It is the width

c: It's the long

According to the figure we have:

[tex]a = 5 \ units\\b = 7 \ units\\c = 11 \ units[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]LA = 2 * 5 * 11 + 2 * 7 * 11\\LA = 110 + 154\\LA = 264[/tex]

Finally, the lateral area of the prism is [tex]264 \ units ^ 2[/tex]
