Question

If the smaller pyramid has a surface area of 25.49 ft2, what is the surface area of the larger pyramid? Round to the nearest hundredth.
height 6 small pyramid
height 15 large pyramid

Answer 1

Answer:

$A = 159.31\,ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider that both pyramid are simmilar. The surface area of the pyramid is directly proportional to the square of the height is:

$A = (25.49\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(\frac{15\,ft}{6\,ft} \right)^{2}$

$A = 159.31\,ft^{2}$
