Given:
The dimensions:
Square pyramid
Square base: 2x2
1 out of 4 triangles: 1/2x2x5
4 triangles: 2x2x5
To find:
The SURFACE AREA of the square pyramid
Find answer:
Step 1
Find the area of the square base -
Square base:
SA = L x W
= 2 x 2
= 4
<em>The surface area of the square is 4 square inches</em>
<em></em>
Step 2
Find the area of the 4 Triangles:
We will use a different formula here, to find 1 triangle, we will have to do:
To find 2 triangles, we will do:
But to find 4 triangles in just 1 step, we will do:
Let's do it!
<em>The surface area of the 4 triangles are 20 square inches</em>
<em></em>
Step 3
