Answer:
[tex] S.A = 246.6 in^2 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure given above is a square pyramid, having a square base and 4 triangular faces on the sides that are of the same dimensions.
Surface area of the square pyramid is given as: [tex] B.A + \frac{1}{2}*P*L [/tex]
Where,
B.A = Base Area of the pyramid = 9*9 = 81 in²
P = perimeter of the base = 4(9) = 36 in
L = slant height of pyramid = 9.2 in
Plug in the values into the given formula to find the surface area
[tex] S.A = 81 + \frac{1}{2}*36*9.2 [/tex]
[tex] = 81 + 18*9.2 [/tex]
[tex] = 81 + 165.6 [/tex]
[tex] S.A = 246.6 in^2 [/tex]
