Using the graphing above find the total surface area of the right square pyramid if the height is 24 and the base edge is 16

1065

Step-by-step explanation:

A right square pyramid consist of

1 base area which is a square, area of square = l² 4 triangles, area of a triangle = 1/2 (slant height) (base)

area of 4 triangle = 2 (slant height) (base)

In question we are given perpendicular height of pyramid not the slant height so first we will calculate the slant height.

By using pythagorus:

Slant height = √ (24²+8²)

= 8√10

Surface area = baseArea + 2 (slant height) (base)

= 16² + 2 (8√10) (16)

= 1065
