The surface area is the sum of the areas of the four triangular sides and the square bottom.

What is the surface area of the bottom, if the length of one side is 2 inches?

If the base of each triangle is 2 inches and the height 3 inches, what is the surface area of one such triangle? of four such triangles?

Add these 5 areas together to obtain your final result. Be sure to include the proper unit of measurement.
