Question

Gianni says the lateral area of the square pyramid is 624 in2 Do you agree or disagree with gianni?Use numbers and words to support your answer. If you disagree with Gianni,find the correct answer.

Answer 1

Agree: if lateral area of the square pyramid after calculating the formula:

1/2(Perimeter * slant height) = 624in^2

Disagree if answer is different

Explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram or the values of the lateral area of the square pyramid.

I would explain how to find it, that way you would be able to know if the area is 624 in^2 or not. I have attached a diagram of a square pyramid.

To know if the Lateral area of the square pyramid that you were given is 624inches square, we would use the formula for the area to determine if it's correct.

Lateral area of the square pyramid formula= 1/2(Perimeter * slant height)

We would first find the perimeter of the base by multiplying the length(l) of one edge by four.

Reason: a square has four equal sides.

P = 4L

Then multiply the lateral slant height (h) by the perimeter = P * h

Then divide your answer by 2

=1/2(P*h)

The lateral slant height is the distance from the top of the pyramid to the edge of the base that bisects one of the triangle faces.

If after calculating the area your answer is 624in^2 you would state you agree with Gianni but if the answer you got is different, you would state you disagree.

Then you provide the correct answer.
