The surface area of a rectangular pyramid can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = lw + lh + wh
Given l = 8 cm, w = 4 cm, and h = 2 cm, substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 8 cm * 4 cm + 8 cm * 2 cm + 4 cm * 2 cm
Surface Area = 32 cm^2 + 16 cm^2 + 8 cm^2
Surface Area = 56 cm^2
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the pyramid is 56.00 cm^2

WRONG
Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the surface area correctly.
The surface area of a rectangular pyramid can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = lw + lh + wh + B
where B is the area of the base.
Given l = 8 cm, w = 4 cm, and h = 2 cm, we can calculate the area of the base using the formula:
Area of base = l * w
Area of base = 8 cm * 4 cm
Area of base = 32 cm^2
Now, we'll substitute the values into the formula for surface area:
Surface Area = (8 cm * 4 cm) + (8 cm * 2 cm) + (4 cm * 2 cm) + (32 cm^2)
Surface Area = 32 cm^2 + 16 cm^2 + 8 cm^2 + 32 cm^2
Surface Area = 88 cm^2
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the pyramid is 88.00 cm^2.
The surface area of a rectangular pyramid can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = lw + lh + wh + B
where B is the area of the base.
Given l = 8 cm, w = 4 cm, and h = 2 cm, we can calculate the area of the base using the formula:
Area of base = l * w
Area of base = 8 cm * 4 cm
Area of base = 32 cm^2
Now, we'll substitute the values into the formula for surface area:
Surface Area = (8 cm * 4 cm) + (8 cm * 2 cm) + (4 cm * 2 cm) + (32 cm^2)
Surface Area = 32 cm^2 + 16 cm^2 + 8 cm^2 + 32 cm^2
Surface Area = 88 cm^2
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the pyramid is 88.00 cm^2.
