Answer:

Surface area = 10.7 in.²

Explanation:

Surface Area of triangular pyramid = BA + P*L

Base Area (BA) = ½*nh

b = 2 in.

h = 1.7 in.

BA = ½*2*1.7 = 1.7 in.²

Perimeter (P) = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 in.

Slant height (L) = 3 in.

Plug in the values

Surface Area = 1.7 + ½*6*3

Surface area = 10.7 in.²
