Answer 1

Surface area:

`S=L+B`

1. Find the Lateral area:

`\begin{gathered} L=(1)/(2)Pl \\ \\ P=3ft+3ft+3ft+3ft=12ft \\ L=(1)/(2)(12ft)(4ft)=24ft^2 \end{gathered}`

2. Find the area of the base:

`\begin{gathered} B=3ft*3ft \\ B=9ft^2 \end{gathered}`

3. Sum L and B to find the surface area:

`\begin{gathered} S=L+B \\ S=24ft^2+9ft^2 \\ S=33ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Then, the surface area of the given pyramid is 33 square feet
