The area of the base of the regular quadrilateral pyramid is 36 cm2 and the area of a lateral face is 48 cm2. find: surface area of the pyramid

Surface Area (SA) = Base Area (Ab) + Lateral Area (AL)

Base Area = 36cm^2
Lateral Face Area = 48cm^2

*If this is a quadrilateral pyramid, then it has 4 lateral faces, so just multiply the "one" lateral face by 4.

Lateral Area (AL) = 4 x Lateral Face Area
-> AL = 4 x 48 = 192 cm^2

So:

SA = Ab + AL
-> SA = 36 + 192
-> Surface Area = 228 cm^2

Bis your answer. it only holds the decimal numerals
