Question

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with a base length of 24 cm and a height of 16 cm. Explain how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer b

Step-by-step explanation:

[surface area]=[area of 4 triangles sides]+[area of square base]

[area of square base]=24*24--------> 576 cm²

[area of one triangles side]

l=slant height

l²=16²+12²-------> l²=400-----------> l=20 cm

[area of one triangles side]=24*20/2--------> 240 cm²

[area of 4 triangles sides]=4*240----------> 960 cm²

[surface area]=[960]+[576]--------> 1536 cm²
