Respuesta :

the total surface area of this square based pyramid is 125 squared inches :)

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is the total area of all the surfaces of a shape. In order to calculate the surface area we need to consider each unique face individually.

The base of the pyramid is a square of side-length 5, and its area is 5×5=25

The side faces form an iscosoles triangle of height 10 and base length 5, its area is 10×5×=25.

The total surface area = Triangle +Triangle +Triangle +Triangle +Square = 25+25+25+25+25 = 125
