Answer 3

The total surface area is the sum of the area of the base (a square) and the 4 sides (triangles).

Answer 4

For the square, use the formula
\(A_{square} = s^2\)

For the sides use the formula
\(A_{triangle} = \dfrac{bh}{2} \)

Answer 5

Surface area of any shape is given by Curved Surface area+Area of base.
Here, Curved Surface area= (Perimeter of Base*Slant Height)/2=24*8/2=96
Area of base= Side*Side=6*6=36.
Total surface area= 96+36=132

Answer 6

Since there are 4 triangular sides, remember to multiply the area of a side by 4 and add that to the area of the square base.

Answer 7

oh

Answer 8

so my answer is 132

Answer 9

\(A_{square} = (6~cm)^2 = 36~cm^2\)

\(A_{triangle} = \dfrac{6~cm \times 8~cm}{2} = 24~cm^2\)

Area of 4 sides = 24 cm^2 * 4 = 96 cm^2

Total surface area: 36 cm&^2 + 96 cm^2 = 132 cm^2

Yes, you are correct. Don't forget the units, cm^2
