To find the surface area of a pyramid with a rectangular base, we need to compute the area of the base and add the areas of the triangular faces.
1. **Base Area**:
- Since the base is a rectangle with a base length of 600 ft (it’s unclear from your question what the other side length is), we will need that dimension to continue.
- Assuming a base width \( w \) (we'll define it later). The area of the base \( A_{base} \) = length \(\times\) width = \( 600 \times w \).
2. **Triangular Faces Area**:
- Each triangular face's area can be determined using the formula \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \).
- The slant height for different faces were mentioned: 545 ft, 591.5 ft, and 756 ft, assuming these correspond to the sides of different triangular faces.
3. **Calculating Each Triangle Face**:
- For the triangular faces opposite the dimension of 600 ft:
- We will use the slant heights provided as \( 545 \) ft as an example for simplicity.
- Area of 1 triangular face = \( \frac{1}{2} \times 600 \times 545 = 163,500 \).
- We have two of these triangular faces.
Now we will assume the base width \( w \) for demonstration purposes.
4. **Complete the Surface Area Calculation**:
- If you want to include all triangles with different heights, sum those areas based on their respective bases.
5. **Surface Area Formula**:
- \( A_{surface} = A_{base} + A_{lateral \space edges} \)
- Lateral area = sum of areas of triangular faces.
Since the specific widths and which slant height corresponds to which face is not clear, I cannot calculate an exact total without those values.
Let's assume a basic example, a rectangular pyramid with:
- Base \( 600 \) ft x \( 600 \) ft
- Height of \( 455 \)
- Use \( 545 \) for the triangular areas, just for uniformity.
The total surface area will depend directly on these values.
If you can clarify the base width dimension, I can provide a more exact surface area calculation with your needed values.
Please confirm which calculations to finalize.
