Answer:
175.415
Explanation:
surface area of square pyramid is given by:
Area= s^2 + 2(s)(l)
where s is the base and l is the slant height
in given problem, slant height l is not given, so by using Pythagoras theorem finding l:
c^2= a^2 + b^2
= 8^2 + 4^2
= 48.49
c = 6.96348
Now putting values of s=8 and l= 6.96 in first formula
Area= 8^2 + 2(8)(6.96)
= 64 + 111.41
= 175.415
