Question

Andy is building a model of a square pyramid for a class project. The side length of the square base is 11 inches and the slant height of the pyramid is 15 inches. What is the surface area of the model pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 792.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the answer by first imagining how the 3d shape looks ike. Since one of the sqaure base length is 11 I found the base surface area by doing 11 times 11.My answer was 132. The since one of the slant length of the pyramid's triangle is 15, I did 11 times 15, my answer was 165. There are four triangles in the pyramid so I did 165 times 4, my answer was 660.

All the triangle surface area is 660 plus the sqaure surface are which is 132, that gave me my answer 792.
