Responses

55.55 yd.2

72.52 yd.2

43.31 yd.2

66 yd.2

Answer 1

The surface area of a rectangular pyramid is calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = lw + 0.5(lh + wh)

Substitute l = 8 yd, w = 4 yd, and h = 2 yd into the formula:
Surface Area = (8)(4) + 0.5(8)(2) + (4)(2)
Surface Area = 32 + 8 + 8
Surface Area = 48 yd^2

Therefore, the correct response is 48 yd^2.
