Answer:

0.52 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a pyramid can be calculated using the following equation:


\text{Surface Area = }A\text{ + }(1)/(2)\cdot p\cdot s

Where A is the area of the base, p is the perimeter of the base and s is the slant height.

So, replacing A by 0.07, p by 1.2, and s by 0.75, we get:


\begin{gathered} \text{Surface Area =}0.07+(1)/(2)\cdot1.2\cdot0.75 \\ \text{Surface Area = 0.07 + }(0.9)/(2) \\ \text{Surface Area =}0.07\text{ + 0.45} \\ \text{Surface Area =}0.52ft^2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the surface area is 0.52 ft²
