Find the lateral area of this square based pyramid. 10in 5in (in the image)

Answer:
100 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
4 triangles, each of them has area = 10*5/2
so total area = (10*5/2)*4
= (10*5*2)
= 100 in²

The lateral surface area of the pyramid is 100 in²
The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The area of the outer surface of any body is called the surface area.
The pyramid has four triangular faces and one rectangular base we need to calculate the lateral surface area so we will calculate the area of the four triangles and sum up all the triangles.
4 triangles, each of them has an area = 10 x ( 5/2 )
So total area = (10 x 5/2) x 4
Total area = (10 x 5 x 2)
Total area = 100 in²
Therefore the lateral surface area of the pyramid is 100 in²
