Henry has a box in the shape of a square pyramid.

He wants to wrap the box with paper.

If the base has side lengths of 5 in. and the lateral height is 8 in.

Then the amount of the wrapping paper that he needs to cover the pyramid will be

[tex]\rm Area = 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 8 + 5 \times 5\\\\\\Area = 80 + 25\\\\\\Area = 105 \ in^2[/tex]

Thus, the amount of wrapping paper that he needs to cover the pyramid will be 105 square inches.
