Hence Cassie need to make the model is 2250[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
A square pyramid has a square base and four lateral faces in geometry. A pyramid is a polyhedron with a base and three or more triangular faces that meet above it . A square pyramid, also known as a pentahedron, is a three-dimensional geometry with a total of five faces.
As ancient pyramid models were in shape of square pyramid hence we apply
[tex]A = a(a + \sqrt{ (a^{2} + 4h^{2} ))}[/tex]
where a =25cm
and h=30 cm
[tex]A = 25(25 + \sqrt{ (25^{2} + 4(30^{2}) ))}[/tex]
=25(25+65)
=2250[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Hence Cassie need to make the model is 2250[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
