Question

Use the net to find the size of the base and the height of each triangular face of this square pyramid. Enter your answers in the boxes.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

The size of each box in the grid is 1 unit by 1 unit.

From the image, we can see that the size of the base of the square pyramid is 4 units by 4 units, hence:

Area of the base = 4 units * 4 units = 16 unit²

Also, as shown in the image, all the triangular face of the square pyramid are of the same size. the distance from the middle of the triangle base to the top of the vertex of the triangle is considered to be the height of the triangle. Hence, the height of each triangular face = 2 units
