Answer:

95 in.²

Explanation:

Total surface area of the rectangular pyramid = 4(area of triangle) + area of rectangle

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

base = 5 in.

height = 7 in.

Area of triangle = ½*5*7 = 17.5 in.²

Area of rectangle = Length*width = 5*5 = 25 in.²

Plug in the values

Total surface area of the rectangular pyramid = 4(17.5) + 25

= 95 in.²
