Answer:
[tex]8[\frac{1}{2}(24)(5)][/tex] cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of the composite figure = Surface area of the lateral surfaces of the given pyramids
Lateral surface area of a square pyramid = 4
Therefore, lateral surface area of the pyramid
= [tex]4[\frac{1}{2}(24)(5)][/tex]
Now lateral surface area of the composite figure = 2(lateral surface area of two pyramids)
= [tex]8[\frac{1}{2}(24)(5)][/tex]
Therefore, Expression for the surface area of the given composite figure is,
[tex]8[\frac{1}{2}(24)(5)][/tex] cm²
