The area of each triangular face is 40 square feet
Solution:
Given that,
Square pyramid has a base area of 64 square feet
The pyramid’s total surface area is 224 square feet
The total surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces and its base
Therefore, total surface area of square pyramid is given as,
Total surface area = base area + 4(Area of traingular face)
Let "x" be the area of each traingular face
[tex]224 = 64 + 4(x)\\\\224 - 64 = 4x\\\\4x = 160\\\\x = 40[/tex]
Thus area of each triangular face is 40 square feet
