Answer:
105 square cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a square pyramid is
[tex]SA=A_{base}+4A_{lateral \ side}.[/tex]
1. The base is the square with side length of 5 cm, thus
[tex]A_{base}=5\cdot 5=25\ cm^2.[/tex]
2. The lateral side is the triangle with the base of 5 cm and the height of 8 cm. Thus,
[tex]A_{lateral \ side}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{base}\cdot \text{height}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 8=20\ cm^2.[/tex]
Now, the surface area of the pyramid is
[tex]SA=25+4\cdot 20=105\ cm^2.[/tex]
Answer:
The surface area of a square pyramid is: 105 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a pyramid is given by the following formula
[tex]A = l ^ 2 + 4 * (0.5) lh[/tex]
Where
l is the length of one of the sides of the square base
h is the height of the pyramid
We know that h = 8 cm and l = 5 cm
[tex]A = 5 ^ 2 + 4 * (0.5) * 5 * 8\\\\A = 25 + 2 * (40)\\\\A = 105\ cm ^ 2[/tex]
