Answer:
S = 40 square inches
Explanation:
Surface area = area of base + area of lateral faces
Area of the base (square):
A = lw
A = 4(4)
A = 16
Area of lateral faces (triangle and there are 4 of them):
A = bh/2
A = 3(4)/2
A = 12/2
A = 6
Since there are 4 lateral faces, multiply the area by 4.
6 x 4 = 24
Surface area = 16 + 24
S = 40 square inches
