What is the total surface area of the rectangular pyramid below?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, lets get started.
The total surface area of rectangular pyramid will be the area of all four faces and area of base.
The faces are triangular, so area will be = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*base*height[/tex]
Area of face = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*16*14=112[/tex]
Another face area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*12*15=90[/tex]
Each face has its similar another face. So total area of faces will be = [tex]112+112+90+90=404[/tex]
Area of base = [tex]12*16=192[/tex]
So total surface area = [tex]404+192=596[/tex] square feet
Hence the total surface area is 596 square feet. : Answer
