(05.07) A square pyramid is shown. What is the surface area?

OpenStudy (naturalwoman75):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all you have to do is find it as if it were a rectangular prism and then divide by three

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shoot sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you just find the area of each face and then add them up

Mehek (mehek14):

first, find the are of the base which is \(1.5*1.5\)

Mehek (mehek14):

area*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then multiply 3 by 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide that by two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get 2.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have four of those so 2.25+2.25+2.25+2.25 OR 2.25x4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equals 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plus another 2.25 from the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equals 11.25 cm squared
