Question

Find the Surface Area of the Square Pyramid

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:   Set up the formula for the surface area of a regular pyramid.

SA = $\frac{p*h}{2} + B$

where :

• SA equals the total surface area of the pyramid,  
• p equals the perimeter of the base,  
• h equals the slant height of the pyramid
• B equals the area of the base.

Step 2:  Plug the perimeter of the base into the formula

you can calculate the perimeter by multiplying the length of one edge by the number of edges.

Step 3: plug the value of the slant height into the formula (it is not the perpendicular height)

Step 4: find the area of the base (depend on the shape of the base)

Hope it will find you well.
