Question

What is the surface area of the square-based pyramid below? give me the corect awnser for brainlyest

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

square base

32 x 32 = 1024

the two 32 by 34 triangles

32 x 34 ÷ 2 × 2= 1088

the two 30 by 32 triangles

30 x 32 ÷ 2 x 2 = 960

The formula I used to do this was base x height ÷2 but because there were two equal triangles I multiplied a 2 to the end.

Then to add them all up to get

1024 + 1088 + 960 = 3072$in^{2}$
