    To determine the lateral surface area of the rectangular prism, the equation would be,

    Lateral area = 2 x (HxL + HxW)

    where H is height, L is length, and W is width. Substituting,

    lateral area = 2 x (8x13.2 + 8x6) = 307.2 ft²

    Martina's estimation is quite near to the calculated value which means that her estimation should have been really reasonable.
