Question

Each triangle in the net has a base length that measures 6 inches and a height that measures 4 inches. What is the surface area of the pyramid that can be formed from this net? 12 inches squared 24 inches squared 36 inches squared 48 inches square

Answer 1

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 48 inch²

Explanation:

Given:

Base length of triangle = 6 inches

Height of triangle = 4 inches

Find:

Surface area of triangular pyramid

Computation:

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 4 x [Surface area of triangle]

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 4 x [(1/2)(b)(h)

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 4 x [(1/2)(6)(4)

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 4 x [(1/2)(24)]

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 4 x 12

Surface area of triangular pyramid = 48 inch²
