To find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid, you need to calculate the area of each face and then sum them up.
The rectangular pyramid has 5 faces:
1. The base, which is a rectangle with dimensions l (length) and w (width). The area of the base is l * w.
2. Four triangular faces, with a base equal to l and a height equal to h (height). The area of each triangular face is (1/2) * l * h.
Given the measurements l = 8 yd., w = 4 yd., and h = 2 yd., we can calculate the surface area:
1. Area of the base = l * w = 8 yd. * 4 yd. = 32 yd.²
2. Area of each triangular face = (1/2) * l * h = (1/2) * 8 yd. * 2 yd. = 8 yd.²
3. Total area of all four triangular faces = 4 * 8 yd.² = 32 yd.²
Now, summing up the areas:
Surface area = Area of the base + Total area of all four triangular faces
Surface area = 32 yd.² + 32 yd.² = 64 yd.²
So, the correct answer is 64 yd.².

3. Total area of all four triangular faces = 4 * 8 yd.² = 32 yd.²
Now, summing up the areas:
Surface area = Area of the base + Total area of all four triangular faces
Surface area = 32 yd.² + 32 yd.² = 64 yd.²
So, the correct answer is 64 yd.².

Apologies for misunderstanding your previous response. Since none of the answer choices provided include 64 yd.², we can calculate the surface area of the rectangular pyramid using the given dimensions.
The rectangular pyramid has 5 faces:
1. The base, which is a rectangle with dimensions l (length) and w (width). The area of the base is l * w.
2. Four triangular faces, with a base equal to l and a height equal to h (height). The area of each triangular face is (1/2) * l * h.
Given the measurements l = 8 yd., w = 4 yd., and h = 2 yd., we can calculate the surface area:

2. Area of each triangular face = (1/2) * l * h = (1/2) * 8 yd. * 2 yd. = 8 yd.²
3. Total area of all four triangular faces = 4 * 8 yd.² = 32 yd.²
Now, summing up the areas:
Surface area = Area of the base + Total area of all four triangular faces
Surface area = 32 yd.² + 32 yd.² = 64 yd.²
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 64 yd.².

Surface area = 32 yd.² + 32 yd.² = 64 yd.²
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 64 yd.².

Apologies for the confusion. Since the correct answer is not among the provided answer choices, it seems that none of the given options accurately represent the surface area of the rectangular pyramid.
To calculate the surface area, let's reevaluate the problem using the given dimensions:
The rectangular pyramid has 5 faces:
1. The base, which is a rectangle with dimensions l (length) and w (width). The area of the base is l * w.
2. Four triangular faces, with a base equal to l and a height equal to h (height). The area of each triangular face is (1/2) * l * h.

1. Area of the base = l * w = 8 yd. * 4 yd. = 32 yd.²
2. Area of each triangular face = (1/2) * l * h = (1/2) * 8 yd. * 2 yd. = 8 yd.²
3. Total area of all four triangular faces = 4 * 8 yd.² = 32 yd.²
Now, summing up the areas:
Surface area = Area of the base + Total area of all four triangular faces
Surface area = 32 yd.² + 32 yd.² = 64 yd.²
Since the provided answer choices are not accurate, the correct surface area for the rectangular pyramid with dimensions l = 8 yd., w = 4 yd., and h = 2 yd. is indeed 64 yd.².

Since the provided answer choices are not accurate, the correct surface area for the rectangular pyramid with dimensions l = 8 yd., w = 4 yd., and h = 2 yd. is indeed 64 yd.².
