    The lateral area of the tea bag is the sum of the areas of the four triangles.

    LA = 4 x (1/2) bh

    Substituting,

    LA = 4 x (1/2) (4 cm) (5 cm) = 40 cm²

    The surface area is the sum of the lateral area and the area of the base.

    SA = LA + BA

    SA = 40 cm² + (4 cm) (4 cm) = 56 cm²
