Answer 1

Pyramid Surface Area = (½ * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height) + Base Area

Perimeter of Base = 6 * 4 = 24
Base Area = 6 * 6 = 36

Pyramid Surface Area = (½ * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height) + Base Area
Pyramid Surface Area = (½ * 24 * 6) + 36
Pyramid Surface Area = 72 + 36
Pyramid Surface Area = 108 square inches
