Question

the length of one side of the base of a square pyramid is 15 cm. the height of each face is 40 cm. what is the surface area of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 1,425 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square pyramid = b² + 2bs

Where,

b = length of square base = 15 cm

s = slant height of each face = 40 cm

Surface area of the pyramid = 15² + 2(15)(40)

= 225 + 1,200

Surface area = 1,425 cm²
