Volume of the square pyramid = 64 in³

Surface area of square pyramid = 144 in²

B = 64 in²

P = 32 in

h = 3 in

l = 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is a square.

Volume of a square pyramid = area of base × height/3

h = height = 3 in

Area of base = side length²

side length = 8 in

Area of base = 8² = 64

Volume of the square pyramid = 64 × 3/3 = 192/3

Volume of square pyramid = 64 in³

B = area of base

B = 64 in²

P = perimeter of base

perimeter of base = 4(length) = 4(8)

perimeter of base = 32 in

P = 32 in

Surface area of square pyramid = Area of base + 1/2 × perimter of base × slant height

l = slant height = 5 in

l = 5 in

Surface area of square pyramid = 64 + 1/2(32)(5)

Surface area of square pyramid = 64 + 80

Surface area of square pyramid = 144 in²
