What is the surface area of the square pyramid represented by the net below?48 cm216 am64 cm24 cm96 cm2112 cm2

Answer 1

To find the surface area of the square pyramid, we will use the formula below:

`\text{Surface area =A+}(1)/(2)PS`

where A is the area of the base

P is the perimeter

S is the slant height

From the question,

s= 6cm

l =4cm

Area of the base= l x l = 4 x 4 = 16 cm²

`\text{Surface area = 16+48=64cm}^2`
