Answer:

$900\ \text{in}^2$ Disagree

Explanation:

= Length of side of base = 18 in

= Height of each triangle = 25 in

Lateral area of the pyramid is

A=(4hb)/(2)=2hb

$\Rightarrow A=2* 25* 18$

$\Rightarrow A=900\ \text{in}^2$

The actual lateral area of the pyramid is
$900\ \text{in}^2$ so, I disagree with Bella.
