Answer:
surface area of square pyramid = 132 square cm.
Explanation:
Given : A pyramid of base square length = 6 cm and slant height = 8 cm.
To find : What is the surface area of the pyramid to the nearest whole number.
Solution : We have given that
Square pyramid of base length = 6 cm and slant height = 8 cm.
Formula for surface area of square pyramid = b² + 2 * b *s
Where, b = base length and s = slant height .
Plugging the values in formula : b = 6 cm , s = 8 cm.
Then , surface area of square pyramid = ( 6)² + 2 * 6 * 8.
surface area of square pyramid = 36 + 96.
surface area of square pyramid = 132 square cm.
Therefore, surface area of square pyramid = 132 square cm.
