Answer 1

it's around 296.96 cm^2



good luck

Answer 2

Surface Area (S.A.) is the area of all of the faces.
The base is square so its area is: side² = 8 cm x 8 cm = 64 cm²
The faces are triangles so the area of ONE face is: (1/2) x base x height =
(1/2)(8 cm)(14 cm) = 56 cm²

The sum of all of the faces are 64 cm² + 4(56 cm²) = 64 + 224 = 288 cm²

Answer: the surface area of the square pyramid is 288 cm²
