Use the net to derive the a formula for the surface area (SA) of the rectangular
pyramid.

(Use the variable Abase for the area of the base, Aface 1 for the area of face 1,
and Aface 2 for the area of face 2.)

(1 point)

O SA =2 x Aface 1 + 2 x A face 2

O SA = Abase + Aface 1 + Aface 2

O SA = 2 x Abase + 2 X Aface 1 + 2 x A face 2

SA = Abase + 2 x Aface 1 + 2 x Aface 2

SA = Abase + 2 × Aface1 + 2 × Aface2.

Explanation: a rectangular pyramid has one base (Abase) plus four triangular faces — two congruent faces of area Aface1 and two congruent faces of area Aface2.
