Question

Serena is making a model of one of the Egyptian pyramids. The square base has sides that are all 4.8 in. Each of the triangular faces has a base of 4.8 in and a height of 4.2 in. How much paper would it take to cover the entire pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer: 63.36 in

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of the base its just 4.8x4.8= 23.04 and the area of the triangle is (4.8x4.2)/2= 10.08 multiply that by 4 since there are 4 sides thats 40.32 and add the area of the base making it 63.36
