Question

The area of the base of a triangular pyramid with faces that are equilateral triangles is 64 ft squared. Can you find the surface area of the​ pyramid? Explain. Here are the choices

A. No, because the area of the base of a pyramid is not related to the area of its​ faces, so the surface area cannot be found without more information.

b. No, because the base of a pyramid with equilateral triangle faces does not necessarily have the same area as its equilateral faces.

C.Yes, because the area of the base of a triangular pyramid with equilateral triangles for faces is the same as the area of each face.

D.Yes, because the area of the base will be the edge length of each​ face, which can be used to find the area of each face

Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

Yes, because the area of the base of a triangular pyramid with equilateral triangles for faces is the same as the area of each face.

So the surface area is 64 * 4 which is 256
