Determine the area, in square feet, of one triangular
face of the square pyramid. Show your work or
explain your answer.
Part B (1 point)
Determine the total surface area, in square feet, of the
square pyramid. Show your work or explain your
answer

Answer 1

A. 320 ft²

B. 2,304 ft²

Explanation:

A. Area of one triangular face = area of triangle = ½*b*h

Where,

b = 32 ft

h = 20 ft

A = ½*32*20 = 16*20

A = 320 ft²

Area of 1 triangular face = 320 ft²

B. Total surface area = area of the 4 triangular face + area of the base of the square pyramid

T.S.A = 4(320) + (s²)

Where,

s = 32 ft

T.S.A = 4(320) + (32²)

T.S.A = 1,280 + 1,024

= 2,304 ft²
