Question

A square pyramid is shown. What is the surface area?

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is B

Explanation:

first find te height:

1.5/2=0.75 (this will be your "b" of the pythagorean theorem for finding the height)

now do the pythagorean theorem:

a^2+0.75^2=3^2

(height)= 2.905

A= a^2+2a√((a^2/4)+h^2)

a (base edge)= 1.5

h (height)= 2.905

Calculate and you get B as your answer.

Hope this elpsand you get this right!
