question 13 of 42 which of the following best describes the sum of the areas of all non - base surfaces of a three - dimensional figure? a. lateral area b. base area c. slant height d. surface area

Explanation:

• Option A: Lateral area is defined as the sum of the areas of all non - base (lateral) surfaces of a 3D figure.
• Option B: Base area is just the area of the base(s), not non - base surfaces.
• Option C: Slant height is a length (e.g., in a cone or pyramid), not an area.
• Option D: Surface area is the sum of all surfaces (including bases), not just non - base.

Answer:

A. Lateral area
