Question

WHAT THE SURFACE AREA​

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

16 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the surface area by finding the areas of each face:

The base is a square, so use the formula A = s²

A = 2²

A = 4 m².

Find the areas of the congruent triangular lateral sides. Use the formula:

A = 1/2 (bh)

A = 1/2 (2 · 3)

A = 1/2 (6)

A = 3 m².

There are 4 triangular faces, therefore:

3 × 4 = 12 m².

Add up the areas from the triangles and square base:

12 + 4 = 16 m².

Therefore, the surface area of this square pyramid is 16 m².
