Directrix (directrix):

The formula for the surface area of a regular square pyramid is this: SA = B + 1/2 * p * L where B is the area of the square base, p is the perimeter of the square base, and L is the slant height of the pyramid.

Directrix (directrix):

You already have the value of B, the base, to be 49.

Directrix (directrix):

The perimeter of the base is 28. |dw:1443837360372:dw|
