The lateral area of a solid shape is the total surface area of the shape with exception of the top and the bottom bases. The lateral area of of a rectangular prism is the total surface area of the prism with exception of the top and the bottom bases. It is given by 2(lh + wh) = 2(17 x 5 + 7 x 5) = 2(85 + 35) = 2(120) = 240 m^2
