Answer 1

We are asked to solved for the lateral area of a square pyramid and the formula is shown below:
Lateral area = a √ (a² + 4h²)

height = 12 cm
base = 32 cm

Solving for the lateral area:
Lateral area = 32 √(32² + (4*12²))
Lateral area = 1280 cm²

The answer is 1280 cm³.

Answer 2

The lateral area of the square pyramid is 1280 cm²
