Question

PLZ HELP PEOPLE I AM CRYING PLEASE PLEASE I NEED THIS!!! The net of a pyramid is shown below: The net of a square based pyramid, with base edges labeled 5 inches and the height of the triangle labeled 10 inches. The surface area of the solid is ____ square inches.

Answer 1

I think it is 75 square inches

Explanation:

I believe this because if the base is a square, in order to find the area of a square it is base times height so in this case 5*5. So we have 25 for the base and to find the area of each triangle it is base times height divided by 2 and in this case (5*5)/2 which is 12.5. So since their are 4 triangles it is 12.5*4 which is 50 and plus the base area which is 25, so the ANSWER is 75 square inches.
