Answer:
125 meters squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of initial pyramid:
- A= 10²+4*1/2*10*15= 400 m²
Surface area of extended pyramid:
- A= 10*15+2*1/2*15*15+2*1/2*10*15= 525 m²
The difference is:
check the picture below.
notice, the sum of u+v yields the red vector, and its magnitude is smaller than the sum of the other two green ones.
Let us assume the length of a side of the square floor = x feet
Area of the square floor as given in the question = 320 square feet
Then
x^2 = 320
x^2 = (17.89)^2
Then
x = 17.89
= 18 feet approx
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".
