Question

Solve for the surface area of the square pyramid.

A. 299.25 ft.2
B. 522 ft.2
C. 148.5 ft.2
D. 819 ft.2

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a square pyramid, you need to find the area of the base and the area of the four triangular faces.

Let's assume the base of the square pyramid is a square with side length s, and the height of the pyramid is h.

1. The area of the base (square) = s^2
2. The area of each triangular face = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * s * h
3. Total surface area = area of base + 4 * area of each triangular face

In this case, you are not given the dimensions of the pyramid, so it's not possible to calculate the surface area without knowing the side length of the base and the height of the pyramid.
