The answer to this problem is 144 square units.

Answer 2

Total area of square base pyramid is 144 square units.

Explanation:

It is given that pyramid has a square base with sides 8 and a slant height of 5.

`a=8`

`l=5`

Total area of square base pyramid is

`A=a^2+2al`

Where, a is side length of square and l is slant height.

`A=(8)^2+2* 8 * 5`

`A=64+80`

`A=144`

Therefore area of square base pyramid is 144 square units.
