Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
since you have square pyramid (and assume a = 4 in, b = 5 in) which is a container that may have a top, means you will not need the area of the base
so, you will calculate lateral area:

if you include base area of a square pyramid (square):

you will have:
Total Surface Area of a square pyramid:
