Answer:

The correct answer is option B. 756 units²

Explanation:

Points to remember

Surface area of pyramid = Base area + (4 * area of side triangle)

To find the base area

Base area = side * side

= 14 * 14 = 196 units²

To find the area of side triangle

Area of triangle = bh/d

Area = (14 * 20)/2 = 140 units²

To find the surface area of pyramid

Surface area = Base area + (4 * area of side triangle)

= 196 + (4 * 140)

= 756 units²
