Answer:
lateral surface area = 48 inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture below is the square base pyramid you are referring. The lateral area is adding the area of the 4 triangles in the pyramid.
area of a triangle = 1/2 × b × h
The slant height of the triangle is gotten using Pythagoras theorem
lateral surface area = 4 × (1/2 × 3 × 8)
lateral surface area = 4 × 24/2
lateral surface area = 4 × 12
lateral surface area = 48 inches²
