Do you know the perimeter of the base?

directrix · Answer

The lateral area formula is this: LA = (1/2) * p * L where p is the perimeter of the square base and L is the slant height.

LA = (1/2) * 16 * 5 = ?   @alex219.

To get the total area, add the area of the square base to the lateral area.
