Given:
The pyramid has base sides measurements 6 cm and slant height 8 cm.
Required:
What is the surface area of the pyramid?
Explanation:
The surface afrea formula fo pyramid:
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=A+\frac{1}{2}ps \\ Where, \\ A(\text{ Area of base}) \\ p(\text{ Perimeter of base}) \\ s(\text{ Slant height}) \end{gathered}[/tex]
We have base sides equal 6 cm and slant height equals 8 cm.
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=36+\frac{1}{2}\times24\times8 \\ SA=36+96 \\ SA=132cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
Surface area of pyramid equals 132 cm square.
