Answer 1

`\large\bf{\underline{Correct\: question}}`

• Base perimeter of a square pyramid is 32cm and its height is 15cm. what is its lateral surface area?

__________________________________________

`\large\bf{\underline{Given : }}`

• Base perimeter of square pyramid = 32 cm

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`\large\bf{⟹ Base\: side =(32)/(4)=8 cm}`

• height of pyramid = 15 cm

__________________________________________

`\large\bf{\underline{Lateral\: surface\:area :}}`

`\large\boxed{4 * (1)/(2) * base \: * height}`

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`= 4 * (1)/(2) * 8 * 15`

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`= 240 {cm}^(2)`

__________________________________________

`\large\bf{\underline{Hence, L.S.A }}`

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`\large\bf{ = 240 {cm}^(2)}`
