Question

He net of a square pyramid is shown below. What are the possible areas for a single face in this net? Check all that apply.

4 triangles with a height of 6 and a length of 5

A. 11 square meters
B. 15 square meters
C. 24 square meters
D. 25 square meters
E. 30 square meters

Answer 1

The possible area for a single triangular face of the square pyramid, with a height of 6 meters and a base of 5 meters, is calculated using the area formula for a triangle. The area is found to be 15 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to finding the area of a single face in the net of a square pyramid. Each triangular face has a height of 6 meters and a base length of 5 meters.

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is:

Area = ½ * base * height

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Area = ½ * 5 * 6

Area = ½ * 30

Area = 15 square meters

Therefore, the possible area for a single triangular face of the pyramid is 15 square meters. This corresponds to option B.
