Question

What is the surface areaof this square-basedpyramid in square yards?

Answer 1

Given:

There is a square based pyramid given with measurments

Required:

We want to find the area of given pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the area of base which is square

`A_1=5*5=25\text{ sq ft}`

Now the area of sides of pyramid which is triangle

`A_2=4*(1)/(2)*8*5=80\text{ sq ft}`

Now the area of pyramid is

`A=25+80=105\text{ sq ft}`

now convert 105 sq ft to sq yard is

1 sq yd is 9 sq ft by this

`A=(105)/(9)=11.67\text{ sq yd}`

Final answer:

11.67 sq yard
