Lateral Surface Area of Rectangular Parallelepiped figure
Lateral Surface Area can be defined as the product of perimeter of base and height. In a rectangular parallelepiped figure, each face is a rectangle so the perimeter of the base is equal to the perimeter of rectangle. The formula for LSA (Lateral surface area) is given by
Lateral Surface Area of Rectangular Parallelepiped figure
LSA = Perimeter of base × Height
As perimeter of base is equal to 2(length+width)
= 2(length + width) × Height
LSA = 2lh + 2wh
where
l, w, h are length, width and height respectively.
From the above formula, It can also be said that
Surface Area (Total) = Lateral surface area + 2lw

Rectangular Parallelepiped Formula
A Rectangular Parallelepiped is a polyhedron with six faces. Here each face is a rectangle. It can also be called a cuboid. It is a three dimensional (3D) figure. For any two dimensional or three-dimensional figures, the concept of mensuration is applied. Mensuration is the branch of geometry that deals with measurements like length, height, area, volume in 2D/3D figures. It includes the computation of mathematical formulas and algebraic expressions.
