Question

Find the surface area of the pyramid. The side lengths of the base are equal. Square pyramid with base edge of 12 centimeters, and a slant height measuring 17 centimeters, on a triangular face. The surface area is square centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the surface area of square pyramid is given below:

A = a^2  + 2a × √a^2 ÷ √4 + √h^2

where

a = 12 cm

h = 17 cm

Now put the value of a and h in the above formula

= 12^2 + 2(12) × √12^2 ÷ √4 + √17^2

= 576.66 cm^2

hence, the surface area of the square pyramid is 576.66 cm^2
