Answer 4

yes u did

Answer 5

Okay this time we have a pyramid

Answer 6

And we need the area of one of the triangular faces

Answer 7

Okay this should be easy

Answer 8

The total surface area is 244 ft^2 and the square base takes up 64 ft^2 of this amount. So how much surface area is made up of the triangle faces?

Answer 9

Good drawing, it should look like this

Answer 10

This would be all of the sides of a pyramid

Answer 11

what is that
LOL

Answer 12

I broke apart the pyramids into sides

Answer 13

So what is the total surface area according to the question?

Answer 14

224

Answer 15

cant you just divide all this why make it so complicated

Answer 16

To get the area of the four triangle sides we need to subtract the area of the square base from the area of the pyramid.

Answer 17

THE base ism64

Answer 18

with area you multiply/divide subtracting is for perimeter why would she subtract?

Answer 19

Because we have to subtract the area of the square from the area of the pyramid before we can divide to get the area of one of the triangular sides.

Answer 20

So 224 - 64 is?

Answer 21

2160

Answer 22

"The pyramid’s total surface area is 224 ft2.

Answer 26

So 160 ft.^2 is the area taken up by 4 triangular sides, so to get the area of one side we have to?
