Answer:
21 in²
Explanation:
The net consists of a square and 4 triangles. The relevant dimensions of each are given, so the appropriate area formulas can be used.
Area of one triangle:
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(3 in)(2 in) = 3 in²
Area of the square:
A = s²
A = (3 in)² = 9 in²
__
Total net area (surface area of the pyramid):
square area + 4 × triangle area
9 in² + 4 × 3 in² = 21 in² . . . . surface area
