Question

Find the total surface area of a regular pyramid with a square base if each edge of the base is 16 inches, the slant height of one side is 17 inches, and the altitude is 15 inches.

Answer 1

the answer you're looking for is 60 inches

Answer 2

The perimeter of the base is 4 s since it is a square.

• p = 4(16) = 64 inches

The area of the base is s².

• B = 16² = 256 inches ²

`\boldsymbol{CST=(1)/(2)(64)(17)+256=544+256=800 \ inches^(2) }`
