Question 1117101: What is the surface area of this square pyramid?
Height = 7 cm
Base = 4 cm
I got 74.24 and rounded it to the nearest tenth which would be 74.2. However this isn't the correct answer. Could someone please help? I googled and find some mentions of slanted heights if this might be the case of this equation. Thanks.
Here's an image of the square pyramid for reference in case I missed something: https://i.imgur.com/thZWoNu.png
