Question

What the surface area of the regular square pyramid?is (Figure is not drawn to scale.)7 cm9 cm A) 120.5 cmo B) 144 cm C) 207 cm

Answer 1

The answer is C. 207 cm. The formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height. So the base is 9cm and the height is 7cm. Multiply them and you get 63, but you have to divide by 2 because the formula so you get 31.5 cm. Multiply that by 4 because there are four triangles. So you get 126 cm. Then to find the area of the square, you do s times s. Side times side so 9 times 9 is 81. Add the 81 and 126 together and your answer is 207. hope i helped ya!!
