The diagram represents a lamp that Anderson wants to paint. He only wants to paint the lateral sides of the lamp.What is the area of the lateral surfaces that Anderson wants to paint?

Given the diagram of the lamp that Anderson wants to paint, you can identify that it is a rectangular prism.
The formula for calculating the Lateral Surface Area of a rectangular prism is:
[tex]LSA=Ph[/tex]Where "P" is the perimeter of the base and "h" is the height of the rectangular prism.
In this case, you can determine that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=6in+4in+6in+4in=20in \\ h=8in \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, substituting values into the formula and evaluating, you get:
[tex]LSA=(20in)(8in)=160in^2[/tex]Hence, the answer is: Second option.
