Find the lateral area of the pyramid to the nearest whole unit.

Question

22m slant height
8m base

176 m^2
352 m^2
704 m^2
416 m^2

Answer 1

352 m^2

The formula for the lateral area of a pyramid is (perimeter of base* slant height)/2.

In this case, the perimeter of the base is 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 32m.

So, the lateral area of the pyramid is (32m * 22m) / 2 = 352 m^2.
