Question

A net has a square at the center and 4 triangles on the sides. The square has side lengths of 2 yards. The triangles have a base of 2 yards and a height of 3 yards. What is the surface area of the square pyramid?

Answer 1

16 yd^2.

Explanation:

Surface area = area of square + 4 * area of 1 triangle

= 2*2 + 4 * 1/2 * 2 * 3

= 4 + 4*3

= 16 yd^2.
