Question

What is the surface area of the rectangular pyramid below?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A). 363 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the rectangular pyramid = Area of the rectangular base + Area of the lateral sides of the pyramid

Area of the rectangular base = Length × Width

                                                = 11 × 11

                                                = 121 units²

Area of the lateral sides = 4(Area of one lateral side)

                                        = 4[$\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$]

                                        = 2(11)(11)

                                        = 242 square units

Area of the rectangular pyramid = 121 + 242

                                                      = 363 square units

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
