Check the picture below.

so the lateral area will be just the area of the sides, namely excluding the bases at top and bottom, thus

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Lateral Area}}{\stackrel{\textit{front and back}}{2(4)(5)}~~ + ~~\stackrel{\textit{left and right}}{2(4)(7)}}\implies 40~~ + ~~56\implies 96~cm^2[/tex]
