Answer:
336 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the surface area of this pyramid by finding the surface area of one of the sides, multiplying it by 4 (as there are 4 sides to the pyramid) then adding it to the surface area of the base.
Each side of this (excluding the base) is a triangle, and to find the area of a triangle we use the equation [tex]\frac{b \cdot h}{2}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{12 \cdot 8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{96}{2}[/tex]
48.
So, one side of this is 48. Multiplying it by 4 gets us 192.
Now we have to add the area of the base. The area of the bass is a square with side lengths of 12, so we can square 12 to get the area of the bass. 12² = 144.
Now let's add these numbers:
192+144 = 336
So, 336 m² is what this comes out to.
Hope this helped!
