Question

Find the surface area and volume of each figure. Round each answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer: Surface area is equal to 200
`cm^(2)`

Volume is equal to 333.33
`cm^(3)`

Explanation:

First, let's do surface area.

The surface area of a pyramid is equal to 1/2(perimeter of base)(lateral height) + area of the base

The perimeter of the base is 10(4) = 40; as the base is a square with a side length of 10.

The lateral height is given as 5 cm.

The area of the base is 10(10) = 100.

We can plug those numbers into the equation to get 1/2(40)(5) + 100, which comes out to be 200
`cm^(2)`.

Now for volume.

The volume of a pyramid is equal to 1/3(area of the base)(height).

We already have the area of the base, which is 100.

The height is given as 10 cm.

Plugging those numbers into the equation, we get 1/3(100)(10), which is 1000/3 or about 333.33
`cm^(3)`.

Hope this helps!
