Please help me answer this question! :D It will be greatly appreciatedQuestion:Find the lateral surface area of the square pyramid.

Answer 1

In a square pyramid, the lateral surface area is given by the expression:

$\text{Lateral surface area= (perimeter of base x slant height of pyramid)/2}$

Then, the perimeter of the base is the sum of all sides:

Pb=4+4+4+4=16

Slant height of pyramid is 5 ft, then the lateral surface area is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{LSA}=\frac{16\times5}{2} \\ \text{LSA}=\frac{80}{2}=40\text{ square f}eet \end{gathered}$
