Question

A stone sculpture in a park is in the shape of a square pyramid as shown below. The area of the base of the sculpture is 49 square feet. What is the lateral area of the sculpture in square feet?

Answer 1

It would be 168in^2 because sqrt of 49 is 7, 7(12)(1/2)=42,42(4)=168

Answer 2

hmm?

Answer 3

where did you get 42 and the 4?

Answer 4

Do you get what I'm saying? Because the base is a square, the base length is b and the area is b^2, you need to sqrt it to get the length. sqrt of 49 is 7 and the lateral height is 12 so multiply them and divide them by two since it's a triangle and multiply it by 4 since there are 4 triangles.

Answer 5

49 times 12/2=294 times 4=

Answer 6

Oh
4

Answer 7

7 times 12/4=42 times 4=168

Answer 8

I see it now.
