Find the surface area of the solid. Round to the nearest square foot. A. 147 ft2 B. 245 ft2 C. 196 ft2 D. 98 ft2
do you know what's the Area of a Triangle?
not really.. b*h
1/2 bh
so the pyramid has 4 TRIANGULAR LATERAL faces, you're given the height of each and base as well so find their area and SUM them up the bottom is a 7x7 square, find that area and add it to the triangles' area and that'd be the total surface area of the pyramid
k, so it'll be 7*7*1/2 then that answer times 7
right?
@jdoe0001
well, \(\bf \textit{area of a triangle}=\cfrac{1}{2}bh\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot (7\cdot 7)\qquad \textit{you have 4 triangles, so} \\ \quad \\ \left(\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot (7\cdot 7)\right)\cdot 4 \\ \quad \\ \textit{area of the square bottom}=7\cdot 7\)
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
