Area of square = a^2 = 4^2 = 4 x 4 = 16
answer
16
Answer: 24
The area is length times width, or in this case: 6 times 4.
1. Check the picture attached. Consider the half of the 8-sided die, that is the pyramid ABCDE:
2. The perimeter of the base is 6, so each side of the base is 6/4=3/2
3. The distance between the tallest points is 2 cm, si the height of Pyramid ABCDE is 1 cm.
4. Consider the right triangle EOM in the figure:
EO=1, OM= 3/4 (it is half of AB=3/2) and EM is the hypothenuse, so by the pythagorean theorem length of EM is

(cm)
5. So side EBC has area

6. The total area is 8*Area(EBC)=
