Answer:

A;3600 yd2

Explanation:

The surface area is found by adding the area of the sides

The area of the bottom is

A= s^2 where s is the side length since it is a square

A = s^2 = 30^2= 900

We can find the area of one of the sides and multiply by 4 since all the sides are the same

The sides are triangles so

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base b=30 and h is the height = 45

A = 1/2 (30)* 45

A = 675

We have 4 of these triangles

4*675 =2700

Add the 4 triangles and the bottom

2700+900

3600
