Answer:

Surface area of a square based pyramid:

A = base area + lateral surface area

  = side^2 + side x slant height x 1/2 x 4

  = 8^2 + 8 x 20 x 1/2 x 4

  = 384 (in2)

Hope this helps!

The surface area of the squared based pyramid is 320 squared inches.

To find the surface area of the squared based pyramid, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • A = 2aL.................. Equation 1

Where:

  • A = Surface area of the squared based pyramid
  • a = length of the base of the pyramid
  • L = Slight height of the pyramid.

From the question,

Given:

  • a = 8 inches
  • L = 20 inches

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • A = 2×8×20
  • A = 320 squared inches

Hence, The surface area of the squared based pyramid is 320 squared inches.
