Answer:

  • triangles: 240 ft²
  • square: 100 ft²
  • total: 340 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the face area, base area, and total area of the square pyramid with base edges 10 ft and slant height 12 ft.

Lateral area

The area of one triangular face is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(10 ft)(12 ft) = 60 ft²

The area of the 4 triangles is 4×60 ft² = 240 ft².

Base area

The area of the square base is ...

A = s²

A = (10 ft)² = 100 ft²

The area of the square is 100 ft².

Total area

The total surface area is the sum of the lateral area and the base area:

total surface area = 240 ft² +100 ft²

total surface area = 340 ft²
