Question

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid below. Formula-

Square = L x W
Triangle = B x H/2 x 4​

Answer 1

The answer is 288. How I got it? 0.5 x 14 = 7 then multiply that by 8 to get 56. Then multiply 564 times or 54x4 to get 224. Then for the base multiple 8 by 8 or 8x8 to get 64. Now add 224 + 64 to get 288

Answer 2

Answer 268

Explanation:

Givens

Triangle

Formula Area = (1/2) B * h

B = 8

h = 14

There are 4 such triangles

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 14

Area = 56

Total Area = 4*56 = 204

Base

Area = s^2

s = 8

Area = 8^2 64

=====

Total area of both (Add) 268
