SOLUTION: what is the surface area of a square pyramid with height 7 if each side of the square base is 10. what is the formula for this problem.
thanks
Hi
suface area = area of the base (49units^2) + the area of the 4 trianglular faces
Need the slant height of the each face =
surface area = 49 + 4[(1/2)*10*sqrt(74)] = 49 + 20sqrt(74)
