To find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid, we need to find the area of the rectangular base and the areas of the four triangular faces.

The formula for the area of a rectangular base is length times width, so in this case, the area of the base is 8 x 4 = 32.

Next, we need to find the area of the triangular faces. Each triangular face is a right triangle, and the two sides adjacent to the right angle are the height of the pyramid (also called the slant height) and half of the base length.

Since the given height is not mentioned, we cannot calculate the area of the triangular faces or the surface area of the pyramid.

To find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid, we need to calculate the area of the rectangular base and the areas of the four triangular faces.

The area of the rectangular base is length times width, so in this case, it is 8 * 4 = 32.

Now, we need to calculate the area of each triangular face. Each triangular face is a right triangle, and the two sides adjacent to the right angle are the height of the pyramid (also called the slant height) and half of the base length.

Using the given measurements, the height of the pyramid is 2 and the base length is 4. Thus, the area of each triangular face can be calculated as (1/2) * 2 * 4 = 4.

Since there are four triangular faces, the total area of all the triangular faces is 4 * 4 = 16.

Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 32 (area of the base) + 16 (area of the four triangular faces) = 48.

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the pyramid is 48.00.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the surface area of the rectangular pyramid.

The area of the rectangular base is length times width, so in this case, it is 8 * 4 = 32.

Next, let's calculate the area of each triangular face. Each triangular face is a right triangle, and the two sides adjacent to the right angle are the height of the pyramid (also called the slant height) and half of the base length.

Using the given measurements, the height of the pyramid is 2 and the base length is 4. Thus, the area of each triangular face can be calculated as (1/2) * 2 * 4 = 4.

Since there are four triangular faces, the total area of all the triangular faces is 4 * 4 = 16.

Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 32 (area of the base) + 16 (area of the four triangular faces) = 48.

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the pyramid is 48.00.

My previous response was correct. I apologize for the confusion.
