D. 495 in.2

Answer 1

yo the answer is c because i said so

Answer 2

Surface area of a square pyramid

= area of the base + 4 times area of one of the slanted faces

Area of the base = side length * side length = 18*18 = 324

Area of one slanted face = (1/2) * side length * slant height = 1/2*18*19 = 171

Surface area = 324 + 4 * 171

= 1008 in.2

ans is C
