Find the surface area of the pyramid. 4.33 m 5 m 5 m The surface area is (Type a whole number or a decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

43.3 m²

Explanation:

The surface area of the pyramid can be calculated as 4 times the area of one face.

So, the area of one face is equal to:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$

Where b is the base of the triangles and h is the height. So, replacing b by 5 m and h by 4.33 m, we get:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\text{ m }\cdot4.33\text{ m} \\ A=10.825m^2 \end{gathered}$

So, the surface area is equal to:

$A=4(10.825)=43.3m^2$

Therefore, the answer is 43.3 m²
