Hope I helped!

Answer 2

C. 0.6625 square inches

Explanation:

To get the area of the net of a square pyramid;

We need to find the are of the square base and the area of the four triangles;

Area of the square base = s²

= (0.25 in)²

= 0.0625 in²

Area of one triangle = 0.5 × b × h

= 0.5 × 0.25 in × 1.2 in

= 0.15 in²

Area of the four triangles = 0.15 in² × 4

= 0.6 in²

Therefore;

Area of the net square pyramid = 0.0625 in² + 0.6 in²

= 0.6625 square inches
