Answer:


900\ \text{in}^2 Disagree

Explanation:


b = Length of side of base = 18 in


h = Height of each triangle = 25 in

Lateral area of the pyramid is


A=(4hb)/(2)=2hb


\Rightarrow A=2* 25* 18


\Rightarrow A=900\ \text{in}^2

The actual lateral area of the pyramid is
900\ \text{in}^2 so, I disagree with Bella.
