You could find the surface area using two different methods, but coming out with the same answer.
Method One: This method involves using an equation that helps finding the surface area for a square pyramid.
The equation: A+(1/2)ps=SA; we should break down what the letters stand for. A=Area of the base; the area of the base is 10×10=100 P= perimeter of the base; 10×4=40 S= Slant height;14
Let's put these values into the equation and find the surface area. 100+(1/2)(40)(14)=100+(20)(14)=100+280=380 The surface area is 380 in².
Method Two: The picture below shows how to lay out the square pyramid so you can find the area of each the shapes, then add them up. There are four triangles and a square.
Triangles: We use the equation (1/2)BH; let's plug the values in. 1/2(10)(14)=1/2(140)=70; there are four triangles, so let's multiply by four to find the area of all four of them triangles together. 70×4=280
Square: It's the side length squared. 10²=100; let's add everything together.
The four triangles+the square= the surface area
280+100=380
So, the surface area is 380 in².
