What is surface area?

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The area of the outer surface of anybody is called the surface area.

Given that:-

• The base edge is approximately 220 meters
• The height is approximately 70 meters

The surface area of the pyramid will be:-

$SA\ = \ a^2+2a\sqrt{\dfrac{a^2}{4}+h^2}}$

SA  =  48400 + 440 √17000

SA  =   48400  +  57368

SA  =   105768.98  square meters

Therefore the surface area of the square pyramid will be 105768.98 square meters.
