Question

Find the lateral area of the square pyramid shown to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

4,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral area of a squared Pyramid is given as ½ × Perimeter of base (P) × slant height of pyramid

Thus, we are given,

Side base length (s) = 43 yd

height (h) = 25 yd

Let's find the perimeter

Permimeter = 4(s) = 4(43) = 172 yd

Calculate the slant height using Pythagorean theorem.

Thus, l² = s²+h²

l² = 43²+25² = 1,849+625

l² = 2,474

l = √2,474

l ≈ 50 yd

=>Lateral area = ½ × 172 × 50

= 172 × 25

= 4,300 yd
