<em>48.25 in^2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the surface area of a pyramid is:
B represents the area of the base, which in this case is a triangle. We will figure out the area of the base first, using the formula for the area of a triangle.
A = 10.75
Now we can plug in 10.75 for B.
The cursive L will be the lateral height, which is 5. Since there are 3 sides on the base we can put that in for the number of base sides, and the base is 5.
