A square pyramid is called like so because its base is a square.
notice this one, its base is a 0.4x0.4 square, and the triangular faces have a base of 0.4 and an altitude or height of 5.
so we can simply get the area of the base and all four triangular faces and sum them up, and that's the surface area of the pyramid.

One inch equals 8 miles, or in math terms, this is how we figure It out...
To find the scale we need to find what one inch equals on the map, dmto do this we divide both sides by 3 in. and get 8 miles in reality equals one map inch.
