Question

What is the surface area of the square pyramid represented by the net? 9 m Enter your answer in the box 6 m 9m 6 m 9 m m 9 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

On this shape we are going to splt up the 4 triangles for the square to make it simple.

So, firstly, plug is the h an w of one of the triangles into the formula for the area of a triangle which is hxw/2

H=9

W=6

9x6/2=27

Then multiply the area of the triangle, 27, to get the total area of all 4 triangles (since they all have the same measurements)

27x4=108

108 is the area of all 4 triangles

Next, just put the l and w into the equation for the area of a square which is lxw

L=6

W=6

6x6=36

36 is the area of the square

Lastly, just add the areas of the triangles and the square together

108+36=144

144 is the total area/surface area, of the pyramid
