OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
that pyramid has 4 triangles that are congruent
meaning they the same area
so 4(the area of one)
area of one trianle is 1/2x15x12
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
add up that with the area of the base, which is a square
area of a square = 12^2

that will give the surface area
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
did yo get it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
144??
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
Surface area = 1/2x15x12+12^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12 *12 right

don't know i don't have a calculator haha
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yes 144 =12^2
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you still need to add 1/2 x 15 x12
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
144+90=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got 162

hmm how?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
1/2 15 12=90
90+144=234
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[15\times12\div \frac{ 1 }{ 2}=\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
+144
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
no
the area of a triangle is 1/2 hxb

\(\frac{1}{2}hb\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
o srry got 234
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
ok now you are good!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when i did it again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok then what

that's all!!
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
oh hold we forgot to multiple 90 by 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
brb
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
because there are four triangle
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so 360+144=?

that was blinder from me. i wrote above, i thought i did that already
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
So surface area =360+144=504
which matches one of your answers
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you got it?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
if you are confused say so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i was doing sumpthin im back now
