Question

The height of a side on a pyramid is 11 inches long, and its square base has sides that are 6 inches long. What is the surface area?

233 in.2 168 in.2 144 in.2 207 in.2

Answer 1

the answer is 168 because 11 x 6 is 66 but on a triangle it would be half of that cause the formula of a triangle a = bh/2 so thats 33 and since theres 4 sides you would do 33 x 4 = 132 then 6 x 6 cause the base of the triangle = 36 and 132 plus 36 is 168
