Question

An acting award is a square pyramid with a base that measures 6 inches on each side. The slant height is 8 inches. What is the surface area of the award?

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface area of the award is $132\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four lateral triangular faces

so

$SA=6^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}(6)(8)]=132\ in^{2}$
