What is the total surface area of the square pyramid?
Answers
Answer:
The general formula for the total surface area of a regular pyramid is T. S. A. =12pl+B where p represents the perimeter of the base, l the slant height and B the area of the base.
your answer is 380

Given :
- Length of a side of the square base = 10 m
- Slant height of the square pyramid = 14 m
To find : The total surface area of the square pyramid.
Solution :
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.
Here,
The total surface area = Area of square base + [4× area of lateral (triangular) surface]
(We have multiplied 4 with the lateral surface area, because there are 4 lateral surfaces in the given square pyramid.)
Square base :
- Area = (Length of a side)²
- Area = (10)² = 100 square meters
Lateral (triangular) surface :
- Area = ½ × Base × Height
- Area = ½ × 10 × 14 = 70 square meters
So,
Total surface area :
= Area of square base + [4× area of lateral (triangular) surface]
= [100 + (4 × 70)] square meters
= (100+280) square meters
= 380 square meters
Hence, the total surface area of the square pyramid is 380 square meters.
