Question

Please someone what is the total surface area of this pryamid ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{C.\ (25+25\sqrt3)\ in^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the square and four equilateral triangles.

The formula of an area of a squre:

$A_S=a^2$

a - length of side

The formula of an area of an equilateral triangle:

$A_T=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}$

a - length of side

Clculate the areas:

SQURE:

$A_S=x^2\ in^2$

TRIANGLE:

$A_T=\dfrac{x^2\sqrt3}{4}\ in^2$

The SURFACE AREA of a square pyramid:

$S.A.=A_S+4A_T\\\\S.A.=x^2+4\cdot\dfrac{x^2\sqrt3}{4}=x^2+x^2\sqrt3$

Put x = 5:

$S.A.=5^2+5^2\sqrt3=(25+25\sqrt3)\ in^2$
