Explanation:

the surface area is the combination of

the base (square) area

the 4 side (triangle) areas.

the base area is : 10×10 = 100 in²

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

we know the baseline of each of the 4 triangles (10 in) and we know the height (14 in).

one triangle area is

10×14/2 = 70 in²

we have 4 of these triangles (each side of the pyramid) :

4×70 = 280 in²

the total surface area of the pyramid is

100 + 280 = 380 in²
