(a) Draw and label a net for the pyramid.

(b) Determine the surface area of the pyramid. Show your work.​

Answer 1

The net of the pyramid is the plane shapes that makes up the pyramid

The surface area of the pyramid is 224 m^2

How to draw the net of the pyramid

The pyramid is a square based pyramid.

This means that the net of the pyramid has a square and four triangles

See attachment for the net of the pyramid

How to calculate the surface area of the Pyramid

The base length is given as:

b = 8

The slant height is given as:

s = 10

Start by calculating the height of the pyramid using:

$h = \sqrt{s^2 - (b/2)^2}$

So, we have:

$h = \sqrt{10^2 - (8/2)^2}$

$h = \sqrt{84}$

The area of the pyramid is then calculated as:

$A = b^2 + 2b * \sqrt{\frac{b^2}{4} + h^2}$

So, we have:

$A = 8^2 + 2*8 * \sqrt{\frac{8^2}{4} + 84}$

$A = 64 +16 * \sqrt{16 + 84}$

$A = 64 +16 * \sqrt{100}$

$A = 64 +16 * 10$

$A = 224$

Hence, the surface area of the pyramid is 224 m^2
