Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A triangular pyramid is a pyramid with a triangular base. It is a polyhedron (3 dimensional shape) composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners.

The surface area of a triangular pyramid with congruent equilateral triangles = 4 * area of one triangle

Area of one triangle = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 15 in * 13 in = 97.5 in²

Surface area of pyramid = 4 * 97.5 in² = 390 in²

The surface area of this triangular pyramid whose bases and lateral faces are congruent-example-1
